Many small towns and some larger towns too, build and create sculptures around the town of things that represent their community, Burrowing Owls in Leader Saskatchewan was a favourite of ours.
My cousin's husband, who lives near Marquette Manitoba is carrying on a hobby started many years ago by his DAD. He collects bottles, every kind of bottle one can image, he houses his collection if a real log cabin that he bought from another farmer in the area. In a space of about 12 ft x 12 ft every inch has bottles, some on shelves some on display stands, some in boxes...
This is Sara the Camel, one of those town sculptures. Sara, represents the Sandilands area of Manitoba and she stands proudly in the town of Souris, Manitoba.
The quintessential prairie, about 20 kilometers west of Winnipeg, Manitoba, just off Rosser Road.
Some where on or near Hwy 2 in Southern Saskatchewan
Elk Island National Park off Hwy 16 in Alberta.A couple of question about hotels...
First I have a rather strange question for those who may be so inclined to answer... Why is it that hotels seem to think that a bed needs to be so high that you need a step stool to climb up to it (well, I need a step stool - I am a fraction over 5 ft tall) Most hotel beds are as high as my hips or more...
Second question, why is it that hotels feel the need to have baby size toilets? Remember now, I am rather short as it is and I find the toilets low, what must a man who is 6 ft tall think or or even manage to get up off of those baby level toilets??
More pictures tomorrow, but no more weird questions...
