Abraham Lake, Elliott Peak, Alberta, Canada.
The bubbles frozen underneath the surface of Abraham Lake is an unusual phenomenon. The plants on the lake bed release methane gas and the gas bubbles gets frozen once coming close to the much colder lake surface. They keep stacking up as the ice gets thicker and thicker during winter season.

This visual blog presents images and projects related to the WATERSHED+ art program. WATERSHED+ is a public art program hosted by City of Calgary's department of Utilities and Environment Protection.
WATERSHED+ aims to develop awareness and pleasure in the environment, not by changing water management practice, nor developing a uniform visual language, but rather by creating a climate of opportunity for water initiatives to build an emotional connection between people and the watershed.
WATERSHED+ presents a unique approach to public art by embedding artists and artistic practices within UEP core activities, participating as members on infrastructure design teams, contributing to project design, development of events, community education, etc.

You can visit us at: watershedplus.ca

This program was devised by Sans façon (Charles Blanc & Tristan Surtees) with a team composed of Matt Baker, Emlyn Firth, Yan Olivares of Yes Architectes, Eric Laurier and Bert van Duin.
