Finally had the chance to experiment with frozen soap bubbles in -30C temperatures, here on Bluebird Estates. My husband used our grandson's soap bubble making toy to create the bubbles and I ran around trying to photograph them. Cold fun and I loved it.
Big Rock (also known as either Okotoks Erratic or, by the Blackfoot, as Okotok) likely served as a prominent landmark for Indigenous people.
The Okotoks Erratic is a 16,500-tonne (18,200-ton) boulder that lies on the otherwise flat, relatively featureless, surface of the Canadian Prairies in Alberta [An erratic is a rock or boulder that differs from the surrounding rock and is believed to have been brought from a distance by glacial action].
This massive angular boulder, which is broken into two main pieces, measures about 41 by 18 metres and is 9 m high. It consists of thick-bedded, micaceous, feldspathic quartzite that is light grey, pink, to purplish. Besides having been extensively fractured by frost action, it is unweathered. [...]. Wikipedia

Castle Mountain is a mountain located within Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, approximately halfway between Banff and Lake Louise. It is the easternmost mountain of the Main Ranges in the Bow Valley and sits astride the Castle Mountain Fault which has thrust older sedimentary and metamorphic rocks forming the upper part of the mountain over the younger rocks forming its base. The mountain's castellated, or castle-like, appearance is a result of erosive processes acting at different rates on the peak's alternating layers of softer shale and harder limestone, dolomite and quartzite.
The mountain was named in 1858 by James Hector for its castle-like appearance. From 1946 to 1979 it was known as Mount Eisenhower in honour of the World War II general Dwight D. Eisenhower. Public pressure caused its original name to be restored, but a pinnacle on the southeastern side of the mountain was named Eisenhower Tower. Located nearby are the remains of Silver City, a 19th-century mining settlement, and the Castle Mountain Internment Camp in which persons deemed enemy aliens and suspected enemy sympathizers were confined during World War I.
While looking nearly impenetrable from the Trans-Canada Highway, the peak can be ascended from the backside on the northeastern slopes. Wikipedia

The exterior of the building features layered stonework in contrasting colours: white Calissane limestone alternates with green sandstone from Golfolina near Florence. Marble and pictorial mosaics in various colours decorate the upper church. A 35 m (115 ft) double staircase leads to a drawbridge, granting access to the crypt and, via another set of stairs, to the church's main entrance.

"Turn your shower on as cold as it is and stand there for, you know, four hours. That's what it's like." ..."we're sitting out there shivering, freezing, cold rain and you see thousands of die-hard fans out there cheering us on. They're suffering in the weather just like we are. So it definitely motivates us."- Levi Leipheimer

The Vieux Port represents the birthplace of Marseilles. This is where the city began as a Greek port around 600 BC. Surrounded by serene blue waters, the Old Port is located in the west of Marseilles near the Canebière boulevard. A stroll around this ancient harbor gives visitors a feel for the thriving Mediterranean atmosphere of Marseilles. The lively waterfront is a focal point for tourists, and many say that this area is the best place to find authentic bouillabaisse, the flavorful seafood stew that is a specialty of Marseille. On the east side of the harbor, the Quai des Belges hosts a fish market every morning. Once an important commercial port, the Vieux Port is now used primarily by fishing boats and sports craft. The Old Port is also the launching point for the ferries that sail to two popular tourist destinations: the Château d'If and the Calanques near Cassis [planetware.com]
Notre-Dame de la Garde (Our Lady of the Guard), in French for Marseille’s citizens “la bonne mère” (the good (holy) mother), is a Catholic basilica in Marseille, France, and the city's best-known symbol. The site of a popular Assumption Day pilgrimage, it was the most visited site in Marseille. It was built on the foundations of an ancient fort at the highest natural point in Marseille, a 149 m (489 ft) limestone outcropping on the south side of the Old Port of Marseille.
Construction of the basilica began in 1852 and lasted for 21 years. It was originally an enlargement of a medieval chapel, but was transformed into a new structure at the request of Father Bernard, the chaplain. The plans were made and developed by the architect Henri-Jacques Espérandieu. It was consecrated while still unfinished on June 5, 1864.
The basilica consists of a lower church or crypt in the Romanesque style, carved from the rock, and an upper church of Neo-Byzantine style decorated with mosaics. A square 41 m (135 ft) bell tower topped by a 12.5 m (41 ft) belfry supports a monumental 11.2 m (37 ft) statue of the Madonna and Child made of copper gilded with gold leaf [wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre-Dame_de_la_Garde]

The Caisse d'Épargne hotel, inaugurated on July 20, 1904, is the fruit of the collaborative work of a multi-award-winning architect, Joseph Albert Tournaire, and four talented sculptors, all of whom have received awards during their respective careers.
The Palais de la Caisse d'Epargne was created by the architect Albert Tournaire represented in Marseille by the architect Paul Mouren, next to a branch of the Banque de France built in 1886 with a much less decorated style.
On the facade of the square, above the three bays, masks by the Marseille sculptor Constant Roux, first Grand Prix of Rome, symbolizing trade, the navy and maritime works. On both sides, the coats of arms of the two sub-prefectures of Aix-en-Provence and Arles.
At the top of the facade, in a rounded pediment sculpted by Henry Lombard, Grand Prix de Rome 1883, two figures represent, on either side of the coat of arms of Marseille, rural Provence and maritime Provence [tourisme-marseille.com]
