Loughborough Inlet is a deep fjord in the Coast Mountain Range of mainland British Columbia, situated midway between Knight Inlet and Bute Inlet north of the Discovery Islands. The scenic inlet is approximately 35 kilometres long, and the Stafford River estuary is located at the head of the inlet. During the 20th century, the head of the Loughborough Inlet was subjected to intensive resource extraction, including clear-cut logging and salmon fishing, which lead to the degradation of the Stafford River estuary and a serious decline in salmon runs. The Stafford Estuary Conservancy was created in 2007 to protect the estuary and 742 hectares of upland and foreshore immediately surrounding the mouth of the Stafford River, and promote recovery of the ecosystem. The grasses and sedges of the estuary now provide a valuable food source for black and grizzly bears in the spring. These images were made while on a tour with Wild Waterways Adventures out of Campbell River.

The Majorville Medicine Wheel archaeological site is located on the prairies of southern Alberta, Canada. The "medicine wheel" consists of a large central stone cairn with 28 spokes radiating outward to an outer ring, all marked with smaller stones. A portion of the central cairn was excavated in 1971, and artifacts found at the base of the structure dated the start of its construction to some 5,000 years before present, which may pre-date Stonehenge. One recent theory suggests that the medicine wheel is the centre-piece of a large astronomical observatory complex (or sun temple) that covers nearly 100 square kilometers; smaller cairns situated on nearby hilltops appear to be aligned with sunrise and sunset during the summer and winter solstices.

The Red Rock Coulee Natural Are is a patch of dry mixed grassland at the head of a coulee system cut by retreating glaciers. The site is fenced and surrounded by agricultural land on all sides. The coulee system drains the west slope of Bull Head Butte, the highest topographic feature in the area. In the upper parts of the coulee, erosion has exposed a number of large, spherical sandstone concretions, which give the area its name. These round boulders, some more than two meters in diameter and tinted red with iron oxide, stand out in stark contrast to the light gray clays and shales that make up the surrounding bedrock. Some of the boulders have completely emerged and appear ready to roll away, while others remain only partly exposed. Farther down the coulee, the shales and sandstones have been weathered by wind and water to form miniature hoodoos and badlands. The exposed rock here is some 75 million years old, and was exposed when the last glaciers retreated from this area 13,000 years ago.
