The vast expanse of Canada encompasses almost every temperate and arctic ecosystem -- majestic mountains, sparkling lakes and rivers, fertile farms and valleys, sprawling ranchlands and a coastline that hugs three oceans. In Prairies 2017, renowned photographers capture scenes that show the natural beauty of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba: the wide horizons, rolling fields, vivid skies and intriguingly varied landscapes. This calendar celebrates the region in all its seasons, offering images of both staggering beauty and quiet charm. Each month presents a different aspect of the Prairies, reproduced in superb color, to be treasured throughout the year. Enjoy a rich and luminous portrait that reveals the enormity and the intimacy of the magnificent Canadian Prairies.
