Praise for the hardcover edition: "Kraulis has compiled a lovely volume whose simplicity and elegance accentuates rather than overshadows this visual introduction to the beauty of Canada." - Photovision 
 A flash of lightning explodes across a summer sky; a sudden winter storm descends on an otherwise tranquil coastal bay; in a moment of absolute stillness, the surface of a mirror-like lake reflects the world around it. 
 The Canadian Landscape is a collection of more than 125 of Kraulis' exquisite photographs. Each stunning images tells the tale of a vast country and of a photographer's relationship with it. The text consists of a concise introduction and short, descriptive captions that accompany each photograph. 
 The book is organized east to west by region, covering:
<ul>
<li>Atlantic region and sub Arctic </li>
<li>St. Lawrence and Great Lakes region </li>
<li>Prairies </li>
<li>Rocky Mountains </li>
<li>West coast rain forests and Pacific Ocean. </li>
</ul>
 The photographs capture a range of views - from colorful wildflowers growing in the Rockies to the subtle shades of gray in an aerial view of the badlands. With only a few exceptions, these photographs portray vast, uninhabited vistas of exceptional grandeur. 
 The photographer's challenge is to discover these landscapes at the precise moment that they transform from scenic to extraordinary. Such images are found in The Canadian Landscape. 
 The text and captions are bilingual, English and French.

A superb portfolio of pictures by one of Canada's greatest photographers. 
 Canada's landscape is like no other. Its sheer diversity is staggering: vast prairies and forests, impressive coastlines, majestic inland lakes and rivers, and urban parklands. Each season adds its own dimension of beauty. 
 As much as it reveals the geography of a country, landscape photography also documents the random events, whether fleeting or grand, that capture the essence of a country. 
 This magnificent collection spans 20 years of the work of Canada's renowned landscape photographer, J.A. Kraulis: a flash of lightning exploding across a summer sky; a sudden winter storm descending on an otherwise tranquil coastal bay; the surface of a lake, caught in a moment of stillness, mirroring the world around it. 
 These 200 handsome color photographs record the vast and beautiful Canadian landscape. They tell the tale not only of a country, but also of the photographer's inspiring relationship with it.
