The Globe asked some of Canada’s top photojournalists, and its science reporter, for scenes that celebrate the beauty of this country – and for tips on how readers can capture sunlit vistas themselves
From Lake Erie to the Arctic Archipelago, the country spans nearly half the distance from equator to pole – most of it at high latitudes where the tilt of the planet’s axis means that the sun intersects the horizon with a lingering sideways sweep. In northern Canada, especially, sunsets are never rushed and twilight can last till dawn.
Water, which Canada enjoys in abundance, is often a key part of the magic. It reflects the sky and provides a below-the-horizon counterpart to the magnificent scene above, like a mirror with a subtly different palette and texture. We experience sunsets intensely because, like life itself, they blend certainty with surprise. Astronomers know, with mathematical precision,the sunset appears is entirely at the whim of the atmosphere – like a jazz improvisation on a Bach fugue.
