: Jeff Friesen is an award winning photographer that has exhibited his work all around the globe. In his latest series entitled, “The Canadian: Ghost Train Crossing Canada”, Jeff takes photos of the beautiful Canadian landscape as he makes his way across the world’s second largest country.

The bizarre catch is that he also places a vintage 1955 streamliner train (aptly named ‘The Canadian) into his shots. The result is a tiny model train that appears to be traversing the beautiful range of landscapes across Canada. I have to say, I love the originality and simplicity of this series as a new way of showcasing a country’s landscape.

@Jdub ottawa Your argument might have held up better if you had actually taken the time to write out the word you instead of using just the letter u

Jdub ottawa

But 'a loco in da stiks' is ok. U're just as dumb as phaggot boy, so shut 'your' cock sucker and mind your pints and quarts

A little strange, but very cool. #10 is my favorite.

The sad part is that the northeast part of America could still look like some of this if we hadn't completely decimated it.

Pretty much a Canadian rite of passage; driving across the country. And it's beautiful even if you leave your toy trains at home. I wonder how many miles of film have been exposed at Lake Louise. Mt. Victoria must be one of the most photographed peaks in Canada.

Right at the very, very top of my bucket list is to drive NY to SF, then up to Vancouver to start the drive back East.

Living in Southern England, with 30m other people in too small an area ("Sir, please get off my lap…and how do you keep getting in?!"), all that space is absolute Heaven to me.

Well said. Boggles my mind how big these two countries are.

It's cheaper for me to fly to Europe than BC… it's a shame.

This train makes everything look like it came from honey I shrunk the kids.

#6 would have been a great picture… without the f#@%ing train!

I liked about half the photo's with the train. However, many simply looked like a crooked model train inserted into the shot. The cool photos are those where it looks like a real train at first glance, but real trains travel on tracks, and those tracks tend not to have a bunch of ups and downs in a short distance.

#5 looks like my backyard. Love being from this beautiful country.

They do, they just export all of them. Occasionally the export holding area gets screwed up and mistakenly sends us a Bieber or Dion though.

Yeahhh

Bieber is performing on the Victoria Secret fashion show. Fuckin gayyyyyyyyyyy.

Miranda Kerr

They hired him because they wanted to be 100% sure that the musician they got wouldn't look at the girls.

Yerp

Apparently they do, and the majority of them are posted all over this site.
