Transportation Building (Ottawa)
The Transportation Building, 10 Rideau Street, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada is a historic Gothic Revival/Chicago school office tower.  The building stands at the intersection of Sussex Drive and Rideau Street.

It was designed by architect John Albert Ewart built by C. Jackson Booth, son of lumber baron J.R. Booth in 1916. It was across the street from Union Station, now the Senate of Canada Building, and was thus named the Transportation Building.

When Ottawa's second city hall was destroyed in a fire in 1931 the building became Ottawa's temporary city hall. Originally the city only occupied part of the building, but eventually it took over the entire structure. The city left for a new city hall on Green Island in 1958.

The bottom levels of the structure are today integrated into the Rideau Centre.

Holmer Sandberge
The Holmer Sandberge is an inland dune area in the municipality of Holm in the district of Pinneberg in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. They form the largest inland dune area of Schleswig-Holstein. The area is part of two larger protected areas: the "Holmer Sandberge und Moorbereiche" protected landscape area, and the "Holmer Sandberge und Buttermoor" Special Area of Conservation.

The Holmer Sandberge consists of former dunes, formed during the last ice age from the former glacial valley of the River Elbe. 
Large open sand dunes with "tree islands" of bizarre pine regrowth makes this a unique landscape. Heaths and dry grasslands are spreading, and rare animal and plant species are finding habitats.
The Holmer Sandberge are largely used as a recreational area for the surrounding area.

Special Area of Conservation
A special area of conservation (SAC) is defined in the European Union's Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC), also known as the Directive on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora. They are to protect the 220 habitats and approximately 1,000 species listed in annex I and II of the directive which are considered to be of European interest following criteria given in the directive. They must be chosen from the sites of Community importance by the member states and designated SAC by an act assuring the conservation measures of the natural habitat.

SACs complement special protection areas and together form a network of protected sites across the European Union called Natura 2000.  This, in turn, is part of the Emerald network of Areas of Special Conservation Interest (ASCIs) under the Berne Convention.
