> Hidden deep in the forest is Anita Johnston's spooky,
> wonderland-esque, and
> gritty 3d UndeRlanD. This 'otherworld' of topsyturvy dead-ends and
> impossible objects, combines eighteenth century architecture, strange
> playground equipment, a rather gloomy forest, and nightmare
> streetscapes
> embedded with graffiti.
>
> High in a tree overlooking the mountains another secret playspace has
> appeared. The Girl's Fort (no boys allowed!) features games and cool
> links
> especially for girls.
>
> And in the playground, Geoff Lillemon's Swine has been joined by Nadine
> Lessio's Monkey Pants, and Myron Campbell's Trash Attacks. Marcel the
> monkey needs help to navigate a jungle maze and grab his favorite pair
> of
> pants from the beak of a mischievous toucan. Meanwhile, Angus the
> human-borg bear has awoken from hibernation to save the world from
> pollution
> and trash.
>
> Weird science experiments come bubbling up out of the Protozoa Pond,
> including a brand new original science game from RACOL (Alberta's Rural
> Advanced Community of Learners Project) that's more fun than a water
> rocket!
>
> Further down the valley, a puffball patch sprouts HorizonZero's picks
> of
> outstanding children's websites. And nestled in a lush valley, this
> issue's
> edition of Horizontal features Sheri Hatt's carnivalesque photographs
> of Ile
> Ste. Helene's La Ronde amusement park.
