Jaume Plensa's "Wonderland" in Calgary
Artist Jaume Plensa has built a giant sculpture called Wonderland at the base of Calgary's tallest tower, The Bow. The work of wire mesh is 39 feet high and resembles the head of a young girl. The sculpture is walkable and visitors can view the surroundings from inside the head.
My vision for Wonderland is to inspire everyone who experiences the sculpture: I believe that the architecture of our bodies is the palace for our dreams, says Plensa.

Great views when flying over Greenland.
The entire Greenland inland is covered by a sheet of ice, only the coastal areas are ice-free.
PiP1: Only the uppermost peaks of the volcanic rocks rise above the inland ice, resulting in a fascinating and interesting image.

Canada Tour / On the flight to Calgary across Hudson Bay 1xPiP
Flight over Hudson Bay, a marginal sea of over 1.20 million km² connected to the Atlantic Ocean via Hudson Strait.
Hudson Bay has a tundra and taiga climate. In winter, the bay is iced over; it is also called the ice cellar of North America. However, due to global warming, the ice is thawing earlier and earlier, which is becoming a threat to polar bears, as one of their main food sources, seals, is only accessible through the frozen Hudson Bay.
PiP1: No, these are not swimming beaches, these are environmental sins from oil sands mining Oil sands are indeed an important source of petroleum. But the mining of the oil-water-sand mixture and the extraction of the oil are very harmful to the environment and the climate and leave highly visible traces.

There are still some seats here, so the following saying fits:
Nature created the buttocks for rest,
because animals can stand without getting tired,
but man needs his seat.
Quote from Aristotle
wish you a not too tiring week
