Mountain Canoes

by Michael Wheatley

Ravensburger, 2014

oh yes, that was the hardest part:

Development process of "Mountain Canoes" (2000 pcs.) - completed

 A few weeks ago I started assembling this amazing landscape - thanks to a survey at the german jigsaw puzzle board again :-)

no info on the box, but thanks to a quick research I found

the location: Moraine Lake, Banff National Park, Alberta, Kanada

 

 ...it is always satisfying to open a box for the first time!

First step: choosing all those parts to assemble the Canoes

Next step: the sky

in the meantime: trying to assemble the mountains ... this is where I am now.

Vancouver (1961)

Another vintage Ravensburger jigsaw puzzle taken from the "World Wide Serie"

 - assembled during a marathon within 2 hours and 15 minutes

The old jigsaw puzzles by Ravensburger from the 1960ies to the 1980ies are characterized by a compelling definition of sharpness, an intersting cut with many wave-cut pieces and a excellent fitting accuracy. New Ravensburger jigsaw puzzles may promote a "soft click" technology, but if you ever assambled an older one, you know what I mean :-) If you are an enthusiast and you should be able to get one, just try it.

Development Process of "Athabasca River", 1500 Pieces - completed

Athabasca River

Unfortunately Castorland made a mistake and a friend of the german forum realized it several years ago. It's not Athabasca River but Kicking horse river at Yoho National Park, Canada.

Anyway, it will be fun assembling the tiny pieces.

As usual, the 1500pcs-puzzle sizes 68x47cm - a bit smaller than a 1000pcs-Ravensburger
