What Is Canada?

Submitted by: Cindy Y.

A photo of a young person with their arms outstretched to the sky. The person is only visible from the waist up. Behind the person there is a bright orange sunset which makes up the background of the photo. It is impossible to determine whether the person is facing towards the camera or towards the sunset because they are backlit by the sunset.
