A World Less Seen

Canada: Rocky Mountains to Atlantic Regions

Canada’s varied geography provides the setting for both expansive landscapes and intimate scenes. Mountain ranges, rivers, lakes and forests share the collection with coastal towns, urban streets and local details. The photographs pay attention to seasonal change, weather and the linkage between communities and their surroundings. In the Rockies, Moraine Lake and Lake Louise sit beneath steep peaks, while Takakkaw and Wapta Falls cut through the terrain of Yoho National Park. Farther east, are Quebec’s colorful streets, Montmorency Falls and misty Nova Scotia. These places differ in character, season and scale, giving the gallery more than a single mountain theme.
