Landmark Photo Challenge!

Here is a challenge to all who are interested.  We have been learning about landmarks both in Calgary and in other communities. We know that the Calgary Tower is a landmark for Calgary and that the Inuksuk is a landmark in Iqaluit. I am wondering if you can find landmarks for other cities and post a picture and the name of the city and landmark. I will start us off with a picture of a landmark that I am going to see in June. You might have trouble inserting a photo - if you do, please type in the link to the picture or send me the photo by email and I can insert it.

    Hi Mrs. Belanger,
    I am very excited to see what landmark photos and links your students will add.

    I thought I would post a landmark too.

    I wonder if your students can guess what the landmark is and where it is located if I give them a few clues? They can click on the link below to see if they are right.

    Here are the clues:
    I am a famous landmark.
    I am made out of concrete and steel.
    Young children sing a song about me.
    They fall down a lot while singing it!
    The name on the song is not my real name.
    Can you guess which landmark I am and where I am located?

    Go to this link to see if you are right:

      Hi Mrs. Forsyth - we loved your clues! It didn't take us long to figure out your landmark. We right clicked on your link to open your picture. Tomorrow we will spend more time reading the info! Thanks.

    Hi Class - I want to share with you some information on the Statue of Liberty. The statue was built by a sculptor named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. He was commissioned to do a sculpture to celebrate the American Declaration Of Independence. This statue became a joint effort between America and France. The Americans built the granite pedestal and the French built the statue. It cost lots of money and was very difficult to build.
