FLYOVER 
British Columbia's Cariboo Chilcotin Coast
An Aviation Legacy

By Chris Harris & Sage Birchwater

The aviation history of the Cariboo Chilcotin is rich  and colourful, with float planes coming first, followed by wheeled planes and helicopters.
Harris and Birchwater take you on an aerial journey, told visually through Harris' impeccable lens and with Birchwater's story-telling prowess to draw on the memories and experiences of both bush-pilot pioneers and new generation industry, search and rescue and recreational flyers.
When Harris turns his artist's eye to the land from above, we are shown Nature as Art in a way we never have before.

Next Project
             
The Cariboo Chilcotin Coast

British Columbia's Land Without Limits

By Chris Harris

This will be the largest and most significant book project ever undertaken by Chris as both a photographer and publisher.

In cooperation with the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association and all its stakeholders, Chris will seek out and explore the entire region to capture the area's Beauty, Biodiversity, and its people of both the First Nations and Canada.

The core purpose of this book is once again to substantially contribute to the body of knowledge of this region, and to value an intact landscape beyond the short-term economics of uncontrolled and excessive resource extraction. In working closely with sustainable, conservationist land users in the hospitality and travel sector, Country Light Publishing will continue to be part of the solution for a healthy and vibrant region.
