Expansive and diverse, the Canadian landscape is a photographer’s paradise. Ten provinces and three territories provide endless image potential. Cityscapes, wildlife, pristine forests, ocean life, farmland, and the busy working cities all offer the photographer varied backgrounds for their art. But given the current circumstances and the limitations on travel, even locally, we’re bringing these spots to you!
You’ll notice that a few of these places are in Alberta, and who could blame us, the landscaping is breathtaking, Canada truly has some artistic and serene locations. For those who are looking to relocate (we can’t blame them), you may want to see how the Alberta financial experts, K5 Mortgage can help in achieving this.
We asked you to share your pictures showing what Canada means to you, and we’ve included some of our favourite submissions in the article. Check them out below to see which places you might want to visit in the future!

The View From Here – “Middle Arm is a beautiful quite place, if you just want to get away from it all this is the place to be.”
By June R.
Jasper, Alberta
Jasper Grizzly – “Jasper National Park gets my nomination due to its unique combination of raw wilderness and the amazing wildlife so easily seen from just about anywhere, and the cultural melting pot that is the town itself – full of international visitors from all over the world, strolling around the town taking in the wonder of the surrounding mountains, heading out or coming back from excursions into the back-country, getting ready to go to the Columbia Ice Fields, or just sitting on a bench having a snack. What a town! What a park! What a country!”
By Geoff M.
Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia
“I will go to Peggy’s Cove at any day. Walking on these huge rock and experiencing the ocean up close is so powerful. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Canada.”

Thornbury, Ontario
150 feet above Lora Bay Park in the Blue Mountains, Ontario
Lora Bay Aerial – “Beautiful clear turquoise water, snow on the distant Georgian Peaks ski hills, total solitude, surrounded by nature, clear skies, no light pollution, what more could you want.”
By Brian G.
Banff, Alberta
Along the Bow River – “The town of Banff, Alberta has a wonderful mixture of urban and wilderness experiences. The Bow River provides an opportunity for locals and tourists to get away from town and enjoy the natural beauty of the provincial park without having to wander too far. In less than five minutes from our launch point the town disappears and all you’re left with is forest and mountains.”
By Angus C.
Goderich, Ontario
Perfect Sunset – “Goderich is world famous for its spectacular sunsets where you can also see them twice (at the beach and, after climbing the stairs, at the top of the bluffs). Goderich is also known for its three public beaches.”
By Dale M.
Algonquin Park, Ontario
William D. from Waterloo, Ontario shared this Algonquin Sunset.
William said, “Algonquin Provincial Park is an internationally loved destination for everything from canoeing, hiking, fishing and wildlife watching. No doubt those who own the park know this and keep on top of things like tree maintenance, employing people similar to these Professional arborists Los Angeles to make sure they look their best, as well as removing any trees that could potentially be a hazard to both the wildlife and the many visitors to the park. This image is from atop the popular lookout trail during sunset. As I was shooting this image a moose was crossing behind me travelling down the trail into the bush. Nothing is quite as majestic as being able to witness nature in Algonquin Provincial Park.”
Toronto, Ontario
Toronto Skyline – “Toronto is the number one tourist destination in Canada! Come visit and explore Toronto’s landmarks from the world famous CN Tower to public squares and notable civic buildings. It offers from amusement parks to sandy beaches to soak up into the lakeside atmosphere, for a picnic or some beach volleyball. With many live theatres across the city, you can find unique productions from any genre. Choose museum of your choice and spend some time to discover the history and art. Did I mention this is the city of events… every weekend you’ll find something interesting happen and will enjoy your time and discovery of the true Canadian culture! This is MY CITY!”
