: 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.

the shots that work (there are only a few) are the ones that make it look like a real train…when the train's placed beside a leaf or on a branch that shows its scale than it looks lame.
