MORE WORLD’S BIGGEST!

YOU DON’T HAVE TO SAY IT. WE ARE CORNY PEOPLE. HA HA. WE GET TICKLED BY FINDING THESE ‘WORLD’S BIGGEST’ STATUES. IT IS AMAZING HOW MANY OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY IN ALBERTA!

WHEN WE WERE RETURNING FROM ROSEBUD WE ACTUALLY ADDED THREE HOURS TO OUR DRIVE JUST SO THAT WE COULD HEAD AROUND AND HAVE TERRY POSE BY SOME OF THESE THINGS…HA HA!

OF COURSE DRUMHELLER HAS THE WORLD’S BIGGEST DINOSAUR AND IT IS SOOOOO BIG! IF YOU HAVEN’T BEEN TO THIS TOWN IT IS ALSO WORTH THE TRIP AS THE WHOLE PLACE IS DINO-THEMED AND IS HOME TO THE WORLD FAMOUS TYRELL MUSEUM, A WORLD CLASS PLACE TO SEE DINOSAUR BONES AND FIND OUT ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THESE AMAZING CREATURES.

TERRY POSED BY THE WORLD’S BIGGEST CROWN IN THE TOWN OF ‘CORONATION’ AND THE WORLD’S BIGGEST GOOSE IN HANNA. IT’S FUN TO EXPLORE THESE SMALL TOWNS TOO AND THE AUTUMN SCENERY ALONG THE ROUTES WAS JUST STUNNING IN ITS GOLDS AND YELLOWS.

FINALLY WE FOUND THE WORLD’S LARGEST OIL LAMP IN THE TOWN OF DONALDA. ANOTHER THING I FOUND INTERESTING ABOUT THAT TOWN IS THAT ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO WE CAME THROUGH THE AREA AND I TOOK A PICTURE OF THIS DELIGHTFUL ANTIQUE STORE FRONT. I PAINTED THE IMAGE AND WE FOUND THAT SAME STORE. NOW THE STORE IS ABANDONED, WINDOWS CRACKED, AND DOOR BOARDED UP AS WITH MANY OF THE BUSINESSES IN THESE SMALL TOWNS (PROBABLY IN LARGE PART DUE TO COVID.)

I THINK I MIGHT HAVE TO PUT AN ALBUM TOGETHER OF MY WORLD’S BIGGEST PHOTOS. SOMETHING TO DO IN THE LONG WINTER AHEAD…..
