Right out of the gate, the nominations to The Seven Wonders of Canada quest came flooding in.

Day 3: Natural vs. Manmade Wonders
Early on in the nomination portion of the Seven Wonders quest, it became clear that the contest between natural and man-made wonders was a showdown of gargantuan proportions. For clarity's sake, Shelagh Rogers and Mark Kelley called out to nature photographer Freeman Patterson and Ian Chodikoff, editor of Canadian Architect magazine. But in true Canadian style - they insisted on finding common ground.

It may not be as wet as Niagara Falls or as tall as the Rocky Mountains - but the Vegreville egg has its share of supporters as well.
