Grand Landscapes of Canada Les Grands Paysages

"Stunning imagery takes readers on an impressive visual journey."-- Library Journal, Starred ReviewA superb portfolio of pictures by one of Canada's greatest photographers. Canada's landscape is like no other. Its sheer diversity is staggerin vast prairies and forests, impressive coastlines, majestic inland lakes and rivers, and urban parklands. Each season adds its own dimension of beauty. As much as it reveals the geography of a country, landscape photography also documents the random events, whether fleeting or grand, that capture the essence of a country. This magnificent collection spans 20 years of the work of Canada's renowned landscape photographer, J.A. Kraulis: a flash of lightning exploding across a summer sky; a sudden winter storm descending on an otherwise tranquil coastal bay; the surface of a lake, caught in a moment of stillness, mirroring the world around it. These 200 handsome colour photographs record the vast and beautiful Canadian landscape. They tell the tale not only of a country, but also of the photographer's inspiring relationship with it.
