For the Sunday Challenge: Landscape This is a part of the beautiful North Saskatchewan River valley in my city, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The glass pyramids are part of the Muttart Conservatory. "Inside the pyramids, three biomes are in the Conservatory’s year-round displays. A fourth pyramid houses creative feature displays, changing up to eight times a year. As an accredited museum, the Muttart Conservatory preserves and grows one of Canada’s largest botanical collections, and shares knowledge and enthusiasm with visitors." www.edmonton.ca/attractions_events/muttart-conservatory.aspx In the summer, the open space on the slope to the left is used for our popular Edmonton Folk Festival. It creates a natural amphitheatre and is a popular summer festival, among many others, in our city.

Edmonton's pyramids have contained the year round horticultural pavilions of the Muttart Conservatory. In Edmonton's beautiful North Saskatchewan River's valley that winds through the city it provides arid, tropical and temperate environments for a wide range of plant habitat. The feature pavilion provides special presentations throughout the year. It is a great place to do macro work in the winter (no wind).
