Birth of Edith Watson: Born in 1861, she spent decades documenting the vastness of the Canadian landscape with wide-angle perspectives, focusing on the intersection of human labor and the environment.

Todays Challenge: "Human Scale." Capture a wide landscape panorama, but place a person or a recognizable object in the far distance. This emphasizes the sheer scale and "bigness" of the environment.
