Gonna start an image blog of Calgary, the city that's perpetually under-construction and never, ever there. A melancholy day made worse by the landscape...
They're everywhere these, the roadside-flattened-squirrels; Calgary should make a giant welcome mat out of them, if only to protect you from the needles...
I should print up a bunch of Artists Cards and leave them at these little extemporaneous found-art discoveries...

Slightly before Port Alberni, coming from Victoria.
Trees.
Big Tree. Lots of big trees here.
Yep, the trees here sure are big...
And a curious roadside shrine, just a hundred yards from the turnoff to Cathedral Grove.

Tiny blobs of protoplasm, jellyfish, washed up on the beach...
A decaying (and stinky!) harbour seal. Which recalls a few days earlier, walking along the breakwater in Victoria I overheard a little girl asking about a baby seal "sleeping" in the water, bobbing up and down. And the mother's explaining that, yes, it's gone to it's "forever sleep", which was kinda both touching and cheesy at the same time. My kids, I'd a told 'em "There's a baby seal that didn't listen to it's parents...".

You would almost think the government built these things for the express purpose of collecting old locks. Who starts this custom? Then who decides to continue it? Mysteries upon mysteries...
Anyways, spotted this between Tofino and Port Alberni...
And all the other rubbish hanging from it, bags, bottles, notes, etc, like the Shoe Tree of the Tullameen it's a mystery...
