SKI CHALET Canadian Landscape Silver Coin 20$ Canada 2016

The reverse image by Canadian artist Stéphanie Gauvin features an idyllic mid-winter scene set in the wilderness of the Canadian Rockies. Surrounded by the snow-covered alpine landscape with its towering trees, a wood ski chalet radiates a rustic charm and warmth that was a welcome sight for one skier, whose skis stand upright in the snow as a testament to a day spent outdoors. But daylight is fading; as it descends into the horizon, the late afternoon sun casts long shadows with its colourful glow, which infuses the scene with a remarkable variety of hues that add to the overall artistry of this engraved scene.
