Pat Pierce – The Beauty of Canada

Canada is a fascinating land of great contrasts, rich in wildlife and natural resources with a people as varied as the land: a distillation of the rich, cultural heritages of the native Inuit (Eskimo), the Indians and the pioneering peoples of Europe.

The magnificent Rocky Mountains, a giant range of breathtaking beauty, dominate western Canada. The north is a vast Arctic wasteland of islands and ice pack where the aurora borealis swirls across the evening sky. To the south, the tundra merges into a land of coniferous and lakes before giving way to the rolling prairies of the mid-west. In central Canada the Great cities of Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec form a vibrant couterpoint to the tranquillity of Canada’s endless open spaces and the timeless existence of the fishing communities on its Atlantic shores.

With an outstanding collection of superb full-colour photographs, The Beauty of Canada captures the essence of this dramatic country, and is a book that will always be treasured.   źródło opisu: okładka książki źródło okładki: zdjęcie autorskie
