Ha! Ha! Pyramid, Memorial building in La Baie district, Saguenay, Canada.
The Pyramide des Ha! Ha! rises 21 meters high, covered with 3,000 reflective yield road signs mounted on aluminum structures forming a triangular shape.
The structure commemorates the 1996 Saguenay River flood that caused ten deaths and more than one billion dollars in damages across the region.
Local artist Jean-Jules Soucy designed this monument as part of a community restoration project to transform the aftermath of destruction into artistic expression.
Visitors can climb the internal staircase to reach an observation deck offering views of Baie des Ha! Ha! and the surrounding Saguenay River valley.
The name derives from the French word for unexpected obstacles, reflecting the river's nature, while the yield signs create a connection between 'céder' and 's'aider'.
