We were really excited about getting to Killarney, a destination known for its awe-inspiring rocks and landscapes and a last minute decision for us as it wasn't on the Lake Superior route. Thanks to a dear friend for suggesting this, it was one of the best choices made. This was what awaited us.
We left Sault Ste. Marie after breakfast and arrived at Killarney before 3 pm. On the way, we stopped at the Looney monument and the Big Nickel, commemorating the Canadian dollar and the 5 cent nickel, made in Sudbury, home of nickel mining. In between the two, we stopped at Onaping Falls, another Group of Seven stop. We only stopped at the Big Nickel for photos as we have all visited Sudbury before and we wanted to get on our way to Killarney.

Love the rocks that lined both sides of the highway as we approached Killarney |
Killarney is on Georgian Bay and is famous for its pink granite, among other things. We arrived in the late afternoon sun, by the time we've checked in and settled in our lodge room, we did a quick round of photos and then it's time for the golden hour, the perfect time to photograph these breathtakingly beautiful Georgian Bay rocks. These images were taken at Killarney Mountain Lodge, not in Killarney Provincial Park, that will have to wait for another longer stay.

and then very quickly, it's dusk...

Sunset cast a warm glow on the massive log house |

The pink leftover from the sunset quickly turned blue |
