Canada's great size, rugged physical landscape, and understated personality of its smallish population all serve to keep the outrageous beauty of the place a relative secret--compared to its boastful southern neighbor. Crack the pages, then, of this collection of two hundred photographs from maybe the best living landscape photographer in the world, J. A. Kraulis, and experience the thrilling majesty of Canada's mountains, plains, waters, and wonders. If nature photography is your thing, you can't do better than this.-- (12/01/2015)

There are no fewer than 200 awe-inspiring images of our sweeping, wondrous country in this beautiful hardcover by Canadian landscape photographer J.A. Kraulis. The collection of glossy, colourful images is of places seemingly untouched by modern conveniences. They include the breathtaking slopes of Mumm Peak in the southern Rockies, stunning illuminated boulders on Cape Enrage along the coast of the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, and a magnificent meltwater pond at the base of Mount Edith Cavell in Jasper National Park. They're all fantastic. But none are as wondrous as the peaceful image of Punk Island in Lake Winnipeg. Kraulis shot it from the West Quarry trail on Hecla Island and in doing so, truly captured the serenity of our provinces Interlake.-- (12/19/2015)
