We at Great Canadian Wildlife Adventures were proud to accommodate photographer Lee Mann on two private 'Caribou, Autumn Colours & Aurora' trips, and later on one of our special 'Dance with Wolves' trips. Prior to 1998, we had not met Lee before - nor was I familiar with his work. During his first trip with us, one evening we were sitting in the kitchen at the wildlife camp , and Lee showed us a small portfolio of his published poster work. Having the privilege of working with some of the world's best photographers, I didn't really expect what he showed us - immediately I was drawn into his beautiful, haunting - even mystical view of our natural world as seen through the eyes of a true master.

After Lee's trip we received a mystery courier package ... inside was a wonderful gift of mounted print blow-ups that we now proudly display both in our office and in our display booth during our various marketing tours. Thanks for everything Lee! We only hope that this page can do your work justice!

"The tundra ... yes, the tundra...

"When one stops chattering and listens to the sighing of the winds sweeping across the tundra, something inside you carries you back into the far reaches of time when we all carried spears. When it is quiet it is so quiet and the spaces are so great that you feel the earth turning slowly on its axis."

"The camp, staff, food all exceeded expectations. I think some yuppie-types have a hard time understanding what a miracle it is that this operation even exists! I think you need to be commended for changing and adapting plans according to changing conditions."

"Probably, if I were a young man, I would consider going to the barrens and throw my life away, like I'm sure many people think you have... It is a life worth living."
