Pyramids – Did the aliens build these ? · 04:38 AM

Here are some shots of the Edmonton Muttart Conservatory, While I doubt any extraterrestrial life form had any part in the construction I do know that man has been heavily involved in the upgrade

It has been under 'renovations' for almost a year. The lastest news is it is suppose to be open late June. Then hopefully I can get inside with a tripod and pratice those 'real life' flower shots

I love these photos, Dave - well done. Looks like the aliens that built these are the same ones that built Moody Gardens on Galvaston Island. They are cool structures, and - as you've amply demonstrated - fun to photograph.

We will eagerly wait for you get inside! Love the last two, because of their abstract character!

Very nice Dave.
I was just thinking this week of taking these at night. They have nice florescent lights along the edges that change between 3 colors.

Did Aliens build these?

Well, some of the builders I know would qualify.

Informative series Dave, look forward to seeing inside.
Cheers

If the builders are from Canada, then they are aliens to me. Looks like they were copying The Louvre a little?
Nice shots tho.
