People who have driven across Canada appreciate the diversity of the landscape and the
multiplicity of settings.
These stamps capture four different Canadian panoramic scenes from four of our picturesque provinces and
territories: Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Alberta and Yukon.
The 1998 Scenic Highways stamp series offers a dynamic blend of photography and illustration.
"Acquiring the panoramic images was the most challenging part of the project", said the stamp designer Lou Cable.
"After sending photographers across vast distances at the mercy of Mother Nature, we certainly appreciate
the massive size, geological contrast and climatic range of our country.""
