Here there have only been settlements for 150 years. Even though the fur traders passed through here for about 400 years. A lot of our communities were made of wood. Many do no last long as industries come and go, (forestry and mining) They often burn done by accident or on purpose. as people move on. There are lots of ghost town. We have one only five miles from here. It was a going concern about 70 years ago. Now it is just a few scattered houses, no businesses. I regret that not enough of our history is preserved.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-18903948489654618402013-10-01T17:34:20.240+01:002013-10-01T17:34:20.240+01:00Cheers Tom,nice one.Cheers Tom,nice one.Rock Apenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-88548289191514476012013-10-01T17:10:54.993+01:002013-10-01T17:10:54.993+01:00Rock Ape..

Glad to say that I was looking at it last week, and what a coincidence I have today been comparing it with a few statues of Hercules, but still can't make my mind up about it. There's a post with some close up picture I took of it on the blog somewhere..
