Canadian Landscapes

This picture makes me think of a Saskatchewan summer night. We are known as the "land of the living skies” and we certainly live up to that. The fiery coulors jump out of the picture. Since we live in such a rural community, when we look up at night, there are clear a beautiful prairie sunsets. As a child, I would sit out on our deck with my family and just watch the sun set. Seeing this picture, I connected to it because it reminds me of one of the unique and amazing sunsets Saskatchewan would have. I like the silhouettes of the trees contrasting against the sky. Saskatchewan is a beautiful place that continues to amaze me.

This picture shows a beautiful landscape of Canadian waters. The reflective waters give this photo a mysteries and eerie tone to it. When I look at this picture, it makes me think of a foggy/hazy sunset. I feel like the colours in this landscape complement each other and work together well. This photo is beautifully elegant. I connected to it because it make me feel a little scared. The dark trees are interesting because you never know what is lurking behind them. This picture is significant to me because it clearly shows a classic scene in Canadian landscapes.

Toronto is one of Canada’s major cities, and the landscape is very iconic. The CN tower is higher than the buildings below, drawing the eye to this magnificent piece of architecture. However, the most amazing aspect of this photo is the water below the city line. The colours are mesmerizing as you get lost in the purple and bits of green and yellows. I really liked the tone of this picture because it looks very sweet and romantic. This photo is significant to me because I was in Toronto this summer and it really is a beautiful place to be.

I picked this picture because the mountains are amazing. They are vivid and seem to go on forever. The colours in the water mirror the ones pictured above them, creating a reflection. I really like the bright blue sky and blue waters. This photo reminds me of a happy day in the mountains. I am sure that when this photo was taken, that person had a fantastic day. This photo is significant because it shows the mountain range in Canada and the blue skies and lakes we have. Canada plays up our rustic beauty and is famous for our natural landscapes.

I really liked this picture because it reminds me of home. I know that we don’t have a lot of bales around here, but it’s the prairie aspect that drew me to this photograph. I love the colours in the sky, as this is yet another example of the amazing Saskatchewan sunsets. The snow in this photo signifies our cold prairie winters. In my opinion, this photo could represent the prairies of Saskatchewan. We have an amazing landscape that is often taken for granted. I like that was can see for miles. When we went to Ontario I kept thinking “there’s too much stuff in the way, I can’t see anything”.
