Mike Grandmason releases new book!
Greetings!
Mike's latest collection of images, "MUSKOKA", was recently published and features the incredible beauty of Ontario's cottage country region.
"MUSKOKA", is a wonderful gift for family, friends, business and corporations.
"MUSKOKA" retails for $ 45.00 (Cdn) and is available at your favorite book store and on line for quantities of 1-9 books.
ISBN-13: 978-1-55470-260-2
Stretching from the vast wilderness of Algonquin Park in the east to the windswept shores of the Georgian Bay Islands in the west, the famed District of Muskoka includes the treasured towns of Gravenhurst, Bracebridge and Huntsville and the townships of Georgian Bay, Lake of Bays and Muskoka Lakes.
The handsome new coffee table book Muskoka captures the rugged beauty, pristine lakes, and charming settlements of this favoured cottage destination over four seasons. Translated from the Algonquin native language, ‘Muskoka’ means ‘land of the red earth’— unforgettable sunsets, stunning autumn tree foliage, and the region’s signature crop of cranberries—all relate back to the red earth theme and become the canvas for this keepsake photographic collection of one of Canada’s most cherished regions.
