intentioned intruders. . .

Penticton Herald- Exposing Prairie Life (Sept 2002)
There’s a lot that can be said about the Prairie
provinces, but the inscription on the Saskatchewan licence
plate sums it up best – Land of living skies.
For a photographer, that’s as close as one gets to
Nikon nirvana. . .
