Description
Our town was founded as a logging center at the turn of the century. In honour of that, there is a spar tree in the center of town, with the carved figure of a high rigger climbing it. Each year, he is dressed in a Santa suit. Since they don't move him to dress him, I must assume the suit is held on by velcro and was bought from a retired stripper. I would like to wish all of you and your loved ones a very happy holiday season, and health and happiness in the new year. I have enjoyed looking at your work, and have appreciated the interest in mine, and the help and suggestions offered. The very best to you all.

A fantastic tribute to your town and excellent shot Jim,merry christmas to you & your family hugs :-)
That is what you call true Christmas spirit. Love it. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Yes, that is a very nice tribute. I am amused over your assumption that it belonged to a stripper. Seeing as you were a fisherman, I can only assume you seen it in action while in some port...snicker, snicker. (No offense meant, just harmless teasing) :P
I use Velcro now....instead of having the Full Wax.....and, I have not been approached by Sanity Clause, to either Beg, Borrow or Strip for Him. All the best to You Dear Jim.....and Your Salmon..group hugz
Ahh, yes, the famous Santa Stripper. She was known far and wide in all the ports...and some inland areas as well. Damn, did she ever get around! The clubs...the clubs!! (Get yer minds out of the gutter!) lol No wonder Santa only leaves home once a year! great shot dude!!
Merry Christmas and the very best to you,too,Jim. !!!!!!!! :O) !!!!!!!!
