One Last Hint Before Dan's Question
I'll post one last hint before Dan posts his question. Here goes:
Port McNeill, British Columbia
Re: One Last Hint Before Dan's Question
Weyerhauser's Port McNeill Division can be seen the world's largest burl. It weighs 22 tons and measures 45 feet around.
But see also �The Big Easel�
What weighs 20,250 kg (45,000 lbs) and is an artist's dream? The Big Easel in Altona. The 25 m (80 ft) easel and hand-painted reproduction dwarfs the original seven Vincent Van Gogh sunflower paintings. The first big easel and painting was erected in Altona in 1998 and is part of the international Van Gogh project, which will eventually comprise seven hand-painted reproductions of Van Gogh's sunflowers in seven countries. Canadian artist Cameron Cross is responsible for the current painting in Altona, the sunflower capital of Canada. This fun but unusual attraction can be found on a grassy area on 10th Avenue in the northeast side of town, a one hour drive from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Ten layers of acrylic enamel and 24 sheets of plywood sheets were used in the creation of this enormous painting, which has become an internationally recognized symbol of art. Altona's big easel took two and a half years to complete.
