It's easy to think of the southern half of the Canadian province of Ontario as little more than mind-numbing suburbia and traffic.

Indeed, that's how Canadian writer and photographer Frank King considered the region - until he moved there in 2000 with a resolve to search out soul-restoring landscapes.

He found so many that it was a challenge to limit himself to four locations for Special Places.

Each place is unique and while he couldn't get to them in all four seasons, Frank did have at least two visits to capture as complete a portrait as possible.

Frank's other self-published books include:

- Ireland: Visions of Light

- The Alberta Badlands: A Landscape Portrait.

- Moments of Light: Thirty Years of Photography

- Blue Symphony: Winter in the Canadian Rockies

- 'Til the SOUL felt its WORTH: Glimpses of Faith, Love and Eternity

- The GENDER DIVIDE Runs Through My DISHWASHER and other Stories of Life, Faith and Mystery
