A shot of the imposing Pyramid Mountain taken from the shore of the diminutive Pyramid Island. It's hard to really capture the amazing colours of the mountain as it dominates the skyline. Definitely one of my favourite places in Canada
Iguana or porpoise? I was not aware that Pyramid Lake has tufa similar in texture to Mono Lake. I suppose the history and chemistry are similar since they are both on the western edge of the Great Basin. There are many curious textures and anomalous features along the shores of the lake.

Walking through the pyramids at the Muttart Conservatory, and seeing the other pyramids, you can't help feeling like you are on an interstellar transport intent on repopulating the earth after it was blown up.
On the south side are the subsidiary pyramids, popularly known as Queens' Pyramids. Three remain standing to nearly full height but the fourth was so ruined that its existence was not suspected until the recent discovery of the first course of stones and the remains of the capstone. Hidden beneath the paving around the pyramid was the tomb of Queen Hetepheres I, sister-wife of Sneferu and mother of Khufu. Discovered by accident by the Reisner expedition, the burial was intact, though the carefully sealed coffin proved to be empty

Les trois plus grandes et plus célèbres des pyramides d'Égypte, celles de Khéops, Khéphren et Mykérinos, se trouvent sur la nécropole de Gizeh. Le site comprend également quelques pyramides plus petites comme les « pyramides des reines » et la pyramide de Khentkaous Ire.
On y accède généralement par le faubourg populaire de Gizeh (village de Nazlet el-Samman) en empruntant la route des Pyramides (sharia El-Ahram) inaugurée en 1869 par l'impératrice Eugénie à l'occasion des festivités d'inauguration du canal de Suez. Cette route dessert le site par le nord grâce à plusieurs parkings.

Civilizations in many parts of the world have built pyramids. Mesopotamians built the earliest pyramidal structures, called ziggurats. The most famous African pyramids are in Egypt — huge structures built of bricks or stones, some of which are among the world's largest constructions. They are shaped in reference to the sun's rays. Most had a smoothed white limestone surface. Many of the facing stones have fallen or were removed and used for construction in Cairo. The capstone was usually made of limestone, granite or basalt and some were plated with electrum.
