Description
Monday’s oral surgery was a success. My “trans Canada” trip continues. The tough part of scanning old photos, is the sequence they were taken. I’m pretty sure that this was taken at the Canadian Museum of Civilization, in Hull, Quebec Province, Canada but it is possible that it was taken on Vancouver Island. Getting old – a mind is a sad thing to lose. This is not your standard totem pole but a gigantic totem that must have been 60 to 70 feet (20 to 23 meters) across. It was massive in any case.
Photo taken the early 1990s, with a film camera and recently scanned.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous comments.

Never seen a totem like this one before. A most excellent capture my friend.
Nice details on this and colors. What type of scanner do you use, I would love to get one, I have so many photos, I would love to get them on disc and make some online photo albums. Great work.. glad the surgery went well.
Once I realized the scale by fixing my mind on the picket fence below it I could see that this really IS a huge thing. Great capture and detail!
A very unique totem! Nice capture!
Excellent shot. This is an amazing totem.
Brilliant capture

belle photo!!
outstanding work!!! happy your surgery work was OK
This is great! I remember seeing Haida totems in an issue of National Geographic many moons ago, and I was as fascinated by those as I am by this beauty! I love the colors and the shape. There's so much to look at and wonder about. I also find it intriguing that so many totems in the "New World" seem to focus on birds, much like the heraldic eagles that emblazon the crests, castles, and national seals of countries scattered throughout Europe...it makes one wonder: What is it with humans and things that fly? Marvelous. Intriguing. Gorgeous.
Extremely excellent POV, clarity, detail and lighting effects in this Canadian capture, Dana! And, a totem pole to end all totem poles! In fact, considering its shape, I wonder if it can really be classified as a totem pole, which are normally cigar shaped, with tribal faces from top to bottom.
It has the feel of the Pacific Northwest... And a stunning shot at that.
Beautiful shot---I love the contrast of the sky and the totem!!
Great POV and the sky looks spectacular behind it. It must be truly stunning in person because your photo it is amazing.
