The nine travel essays and fifty colour photos presented in the book are reflecting many of the adventures, observations, and dreams my wife and I have experienced during our canoe trips to, in, and around Killarney and the wilderness park, as well as on our hiking tours in Killarney Provincial Park. For twenty years-mostly in June and September-we have paddled and trekked in this area of the northern Georgian Bay, recorded our impressions in diaries and on photos. These selected essays and pictures are a cross-section of those travels. We canoed along sculptured granite shores, camped on remote islands, hiked up hills and down dales on the 100-km-long La Cloche Silhouette Trail, and, with unrelenting happiness, watched sunsets. Being a musician I often imagined hearing symphonic music while looking across land and water, and recorded these impressions. I also referred to book passages I considered appropriate at certain moments while I was viewing the panorama in front of me.
