Crystalline Maple Monument "Mh1$AgThS2 Canada has been transformed into a colossal crystal formation that extends from Earth's surface into low orbit, its territories forming a three- dimensional maple leaf of impossible scale. Captured with a 135mm telephoto lens from geostationary distance, the scene isolates this geological wonder against the curved horizon. The crystal's composition varies by region—Quebec formed from pure ruby, Ontario from diamond with red inclusions, the Prairie provinces from rose quartz, and British Columbia from crimson jade. Each province rises to different heights based on its founding date, creating a stepped effect that tells Canadian history through elevation. Sunlight penetrates the translucent structure, creating internal refractions that project Canadian iconography onto the clouds below. The Arctic territories form the highest points, their crystalline spires collecting solar energy that is redirected through the structure in visible beams of ruby light. A small asteroid approaches on collision course but disintegrates upon contact with the crystal's impenetrable surface, creating a meteor shower that cascades down the maple leaf's eastern edge. The entire composition glows with the rich translucent red of impossibly perfect gemstone, internal facets creating prismatic explosions wherever light finds an exit path.
