After reading that, I have decided that the Big Nickel is not stupid, but definitely a "Big Thing".
This pretend Eiffel Tower, which can be seen from the Big Nickel, is definitely in the "Big Stupid Thing" category though.
And, how about this one, found in front of Lock City Dairies in the Sault?
It rained from Sudbury to the Sault, so we don't have pictures of the north shore of Lake Huron, but the north shore of Superior, with it's Precambrian Shield and low mountains was a visual delight, as usual.
The picture above is of Alona Bay. Off the left side of the photo, and 30 kilometres out in the lake, lies the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Our next stop was Agawa Rock. We hiked down a jumble of rocks to the cliff face, about half a kilometre.
in order to see the Ojibway pictographs on the face of the rock.
Then, the return trip.
Our next stop was in Wawa. But the ultimate Big Stupid Thing has had its goose cooked! The Wawa Goose has been taken down, to be replaced by a replica done in bronze.
Three miles by gravel road took us to the Magpie River High Falls. A spectacular sight after all the recent rain!
Your hero got wet posing for that one!
Tonight we're in Terrace Bay, with a view of Lake Superior from our front window. A fantastic day, finished off with a fine Pickerel dinner (Mardi had liver and onions, yuck!). Tomorrow we head for Kenora.
See now... my hero didn't get wet. She had liver & onions (yum!).
ReplyDeleteNice shots. Enjoying the vicarious view.
