 Moon Hangs at Sunrise, Skyline of Montreal, CAN Photographic Print 16 in. x 12 in. Buy at AllPosters.com Framed Mounted The Montreal Region
The geographic pattern of Quebec is dominated by its division into three great physiographic regions: the Laurentian Uplands, the St. Lawrence Lowlands and the Appalachian Highlands. Within the larger framework, the position of rivers, lakes and ridges, the choice of original settlement sites, the economic development of areas and routes, and last, but not necessarily the least influence, is the location of administrative boundaries. Cities often provide a useful regional nucleus, as is the case in several Quebec regions. In other regions, however, there may be no cities and this also makes a good regional characteristic.

 Lunenberg, Nova Scotia, Canada Photographic Print Bibikow, Walter 12 in. x 9 in. Buy at AllPosters.com Framed Mounted Nova Scotia
While Truro is the largest and, during the forties, was the most rapidly growing town in the northern counties of Nova Scotia, others should be mentioned. An interesting and important cluster of towns is found in the Pictou mining and industrial area. They include Stellarton and Westville which are mining towns, New Glasgow general manufacturing and commercial centre, Trenton with its steel works, and Pictou, the county town, seaport and shipbuilding centre. Springhill is an important coal mining town. Amherst is a county town, commercial and general manufacturing centre. Its function as the gateway to Nova Scotia has been greatly enhanced by the building of the Fort Cumberland Hotel. A Dominion Experimental Farm is located at nearby Nappan. Read More
 City from Grouse Mountain at Sunset, North Vancouver, Vancouver, Canada Photographic Print Worcester,... 24 in. x 18 in. Buy at AllPosters.com Framed Mounted Vancouver, British Columbia
Vancouver is the leading city of the region. It has a population of 611,869, making it not only the largest city in British Columbia, but third in all of Canada. The metropolitan district embraces 2,249,725 people.
Burrard Inlet, a remarkably deep fiord, provides an ice-free harbour which is the city's major asset. The city is situated on a rolling upland between it and the flat delta of the Fraser River, to the south. North of the inlet rise the rugged peaks of the Coast Range, providing a very scenic background. Few cities in the world can equal its superb natural setting.
Although its climate is broadly classified as maritime, Vancouver has many microclimates. For example, average annual rainfall varies from 40 inches at the Airport (5 feet), located on the Fraser delta, to 140 inches at Seymour Falls (700 feet), 10 miles to the north on the slopes of the Coast Mountains. Dense radiation fogs which form most frequently during the autumn and early winter are confined almost entirely to low lying areas below 200 feet. Upland districts, such as Shaughnessy Heights, Point Grey and Burnaby Heights, rarely have fog. Gales often blow in the open straits to the west of the city, but the harbour area is well protected from gusts and squally weather. Read More
