The vast expanse of Canada encompasses almost every temperate and arctic ecosystem -- majestic mountains, sparkling lakes and rivers, fertile farms and valleys, sprawling ranch lands, and a coastline that hugs three oceans. In Prairies 2006, acclaimed landscape photographers have captured scenes that show the natural beauty of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba: wide horizons, rolling fields, blazing skies, autumnal splendors. This calendar celebrates the region in all its seasons and offers images of both staggering beauty and quiet charm. Each month presents a different corner of the Prairies, reproduced in superb color, to be treasured throughout the year. Enjoy a rarely seen portrait that reveals the enormity and the intimacy of the magnificent Canadian prairies.
