Lens Flare and Landscape

Peter Mather is the photographer who captured the image of kayakers on the Snake River in the Yukon for our Peel campaign. Peter travels to Canada's National Parks and photographs different scenes, often ones that suggest movement and kinetic energy in nature. He has an incredible collection of photographs which you can see online here. Below are a handful of our favourite shots, many of which connect to our past and current campaigns. These are Canadian wildernesses worth protecting and worth capturing on camera. To see more of Peter Mather's work, visit his website at www.PeterMather.com.
