As an amateur photographer, I love capturing the beauty of the world around me, particularly the “Real Canada.” This gallery is a collection of my favorite shots from my personal travels, each representing a step in my journey and growth.
At Wander Maple, I believe in Authentic Visuals. Every photo you see in this gallery was taken by me, Sowkat Hayat, during my expeditions. These images serve to document the true spirit of the Canadian landscape, from the grandest mountains to the smallest candid details. Please note that while my original work is the focus of this site, I use a very select amount of stock photography in my blog posts for logistical context.
All original work remains the property of S. Hayat Photography.
Thank you for joining me on this visual adventure!
Finding pure serenity as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with incredible colors. A perfect end to a beautiful day by the lake.
There’s something so peaceful about a quiet walk along the water. Loved every step on this beautiful lake path.
Found a little moment of atmospheric drama today. The dark, cloudy sky gave this ordinary parking lot an unexpected depth.
Couldn’t resist capturing this beautiful scene. That grand tree, all vibrant green, really makes the lakeside view complete.
Soaking in all the magic of this stunning sunset. Moments like these by the water are what I travel for.
Strolling along this beautiful waterfront trail, with that impressive observation tower reaching for the sky. What a perfect spot for a walk and a view!
Caught this beautiful moment where the light from the floor lamp just bathed these leaves in a stunning golden glow. Pure warmth.
Sometimes, it’s the quiet, understated moments that leave the biggest impression. This tiny waterfall was a perfect example.
There’s nothing quite like a panoramic view of autumn’s masterpiece. The vibrant fall colors from this hilltop were just spectacular.
This photo brings back so many smiles. Old friends, an old van, and the start of an adventure. Some memories just get better with age.
