Aerial photography of Saskatchewan is especially unique because of the intricate patterns of crops, waterways, moraines, drumlins, eskers, and glacial spillways.

“The prairie landscape so often proves to be defiantly irreducible – the flat cannot be made flatter, not the infinite less mysterious. As is usually the case with all forms of art, the cause for excitement lies not in absolute success but in the dimensions of the attempt.”
~ Laurence Ricou

“O, the prairie. I cannot describe to you our first impressions. Its vastness, dreariness, loneliness is appalling...the last 15 hours travelling have been like the sea on a very smooth day, without beginning or end.”

All skylocked, this enormous flatness holds
Like a prehistoric beast a long machine
Angularly unheroic.
