Elk Point, Alberta - Giant Wooden Statue of Peter Fidler

This unusual 2-D statue, carved with a chainsaw from wood beams, stands 34 feet tall in front of an equally-oversized stockade fence. Peter Fidler was a frontier fur trader and Hudson Bay surveyor. It's unclear why he merits a Bunyan-sized tribute, but the locals are obviously proud of him. [RoadsideAmerica.com Team, 02/21/2009]
