Gorgeous image of a canola field in rural Manitoba!
Beneath the vast expanse of the bright blue prairiesky lie the fertile farmlands of Manitoba. Here, inthe heart of the North American continent, the landscape changes as you move from east to west acrossthe province, where the trees of the boreal forest slowly give way to the open grasslands of the Canadian prairies. In the summer, the gently rolling landscape is awash in the golden hues of wheat, and canola crops that seemingly stretch out from one horizon to the other—a dazzling sight in the summer sun, but also a powerful testament to the region's strong agricultural tradition.
