too much work, but just picture heaven on earth, and you got BC :jester:

Good idea for a thread. Just too busy to post. Anyhow, I still consider Quebec my home province, even after being in Ontario for 5 years.

This website shows a number of particularly interesting air photos on google maps, quite a few from Canada.

Saskatchewan. Great sand hills in Southwest SK(These dunes reach up to 25 meters in height), and Athabasca sand dunes(There are 10 plants that grow in Athabasca and nowhere else in the world) in Northwest SK located more than 7 hours apart.

I'm just posting links because the site specifically asks for written permission to reproduce, even electronically. Maybe a mod could let me know if it's okay to post pics from a source like this.
Robin Karpan showcases some of the best and rarely seen Saskatchewan landscapes. I know it sucks that it's just links but some of this might surprise you if all you can think of when you hear Saskatchewan is flat wheat and canola fields: Athabasca Sand Dunes (probably the most unique geological formation in the province; I've never heard/seen of anything like this in North America). I've heard the sand is up to 300m deep in some places. And here's the north shore of the lake. Cypress Hills in the Southwest Saskatchewan has Waterfalls? Lake Diefenbaker; the natural sandcastles are particularly cool Grasslands National Park |

I love the Arrow Lakes, and the area my dad lives in East of Vernon, but I don't find the landscape the least bit interesting. For some reason whenever I mention this people from the area scoff and figure I just have some sort of Albertan inferiority complex. They can't fathom anybody preferring the terrain one can find in the foothills (personally, my favourite is the drive south of Longview, AB where the prairies seem to end abruptly and the Rockies come out of nowhere). The Whaleback Region is probably my favourite in Alberta, and IMO one of the most picturesque places I've been. |
Apparently Edmonton is only notable for WEM?

Since it would be too complicated to cover all the province of Quebec, I'll limit my contribution to this thread to the Eastern Townships in southeastern Quebec. That's my native region. I already had a bunch of pics on my computer, so I just post them here, I hope there are not too many of them and they show different types of landscape.

Different strokes for different folks I guess! :tup: |
I guess so. My thoughts are "finally, something other than trees".
Not that I dislike trees, the old growth forests on the Island are spectacular. Another area I find quite stunning is around Hope. It's got the endless tree thing going on, but is also incredibly rugged when compared with most of the province. |
