Today’s sculpture feature is another work of art that is
large and in charge on Columbia Avenue. As you can see “Tundra” is a steel work
that stands tall outside of Kootenay Market.
“Tundra” is a shaggy musk ox created by Maryland’s Virginia
Sperry. I am so impressed with the
detail behind “Tundra”; Sperry crafted every bit of the musk ox perfectly from
each shaggy bit of hair to its curled horns.
Even though the musk ox is intimidating with its horns and hooves it is
also friendly looking, a gentle giant made of steel!
This morning I saw so many people on the streets taking in
Castlegar’s Sculpture Walk and Canada Day packs of people were walking around
with their voting cards viewing all of the impressive artwork part of the exhibit.
Do not forget you can vote until the end
of September for this year’s People’s Choice Award!

PS. It has been a beauty of a week here in the Kootenay Boundary; but seriously we need it cool down so this girl can get some sleep!
