ewan loves walking, or better strolling (he hasn't quite mastered bipedal mode yet) and he's up for a push round the hood in any weather the great northern winter might throw our way. he's dressed to kill caribou this afternoon.

at 58 stories - 236 m. high - it dominates the calgary skyline, and houses two of the driving forces behind the oil boom on the great northern plains: encana and cenovus corporations. the white head at the base of the tower is called wonderland and stands 12 m. high.

12 meter high wire sculpture by a spanish artist named Jaume Plensa stands in front of calgary's tallest building. i guess you can walk around inside the head, but by the time i took a dozen shots my fingers were numb and i was in no mood for sightseeing. a bit of fumbling to get the camera stowed and i hurried back to the warmth of teachers convention a couple blocks away.
