Canadian Terrain

Today on CBC Radio's, "As It Happens," they were discussing what appears to be a giant face carved into a rock surface about 300 km south east of Calgary just north of the Trans Canada Highway. Curious, I had to check it out. The head, which is about 250 m wide, clearly resembles a native person in full headdress. And even more strange, as the host of the show commented, it appears that the image is listening to ...an Ipod. This image was discovered by someone scanning the area using Google Earth. If you would like to check out the image, the coordinates are 50° 0'38.20"N 110° 6'48.32"W or you could simple click on the following Google Earth link. For those of you who don't know what Google Earth is, it's a program that was launched last year which lets you search, scan and zoom-in on hi-res satellite photos from all over the globe's surface. Very cool. Let me know what you think.

That's wild! It really looks intentional.

I know! Crazy, isn't it?
