The beauty of our home is boundless.

This fact has been extensively documented by amateur and professional photographers, videographers and astrophotographers alike.

Here are some of the best, latest photographs that Saskatchewan people have shared with us during the first week of 2016!

Photographer Andrea Lawrence shared this unusually beautiful photo

Andrea Lawrence took this photo of her annual Piano Burn in Fairy Hill, Sask. on Oct. 17, 2015. "What pro photographers do when there is no aurora and clouds," explained Lawrence. (Submitted by Andrea Lawrence)

"We burned wood behind it with a model on top first," wrote Lawrence.

"Then, pushed the burning trees against the back and burned the piano. It sat outside for three years. [I] found rare coins and other things in the ashes!"

Lawrence said the "Piano Burn" photo shoot has become an annual tradition.

"It is one of a few national dark sky preserves for astronomy!" wrote Starosta in his submission.
