North Battleford Saskatchewan

Well we are back to checking out statues along the route and we located a couple of interesting ones in North Battleford Saskatchewan. One is of a Mountie on his horse named "BoB" and the other is of a buffalo which is made from barbed wire.

This statue was installed in the sixties for the centennial celebration.
 
 


This larger than life sculpture of a buffalo is titled "Don't Fence Me In" and is mad entirely of barbed wire. I don't see how anyone could sculpt with barbed wire without cutting himself..
 
The detail is amazing considering the medium.


The plaque identifying the sculptor.


The scenery was wonderful but we just couldn't get a good photo because of the overcast rainy conditions. These buffleheads in a roadside pond were an interesting find.
