Have you ever just stopped and taken a moment for yourself to just be inspired on how awesome this planet is? To look around you and witness the charm of the Northern Lights as it tells the same tales it told our ancestors as they sat around the fire as the waves of the lights danced and swayed to a cosmic beat, witnessed the wild explosive action of a bear taking a salmon swimming upstream to get nice and fat before a long hibernation in our beautiful Canadian wilderness. The migration of millions of animals as they make their journey for new pastures, and the dangers that lay around every bend, and just below the surface.

Most of us can only dream of seeing far off lands that have piqued curiosity for generations, but you can transform yourself into the adventurous explorer you always wanted to be on the journey to discover so many hidden gems just out of reach for most, but you aren’t most are you?

Inspired by the book, SPECTACLE: Rare and Astonishing Photographs, the exhibition features stunning images captured by some of the world’s finest photographers. Moreover, each photograph invites us to marvel at our miraculous planet and inspires a deeper commitment to protect its wonders for future generations to also witness with their eyes.

This exquisite exhibition features extraordinary moments, from breathtaking natural formations of all scales to intimate glimpses of the human experience as you delve into the essence of the human spirit as Spectacle explores life through the lenses of Chaos, Surprise, Beauty, and Awe. Each of these fascinating spectacles shock us in their diversity, their complexity, bringing us the miraculous beauty of our planet.

Prepare yourself to be immersed fully by an array of fascinating wonders and unusual phenomena and amusing curiosities as you are invited to witness certain sights that are as beautiful as they are unforgettable.
