Whenever we see "Images of Canada" posted, it's always disappointing to see that very little of Canada is actually shown. There are always lots of mountains, often a couple of beaches or lighthouses, and maybe one generic forest and another prairie scene. But there is so much more to see!
We'd like to present a more comprehensive look at Canada, including 4 photos from each province and territory. We've posted not only the types of images that most people will expect, but some that will make even the most well-travelled people think about what they've missed so far. Very little that's man-made is shown - this is primarily Mother Nature's work. From sea to sea to sea, Canada is an amazing country.
The gallery starts in British Columbia, moves east to Newfoundland and Labrador, and then north and west, finishing in the Yukon Territory. All of the images are protected by copyright, and have been posted with specific permission.
