I had never heard of hoodoos before this story. So I learned something about Canada from Kuzhali. However, I did do a project on wind erosion in grade ten geography, so it turns out I've drawn some. Just didn't know what they were called over Alberta way.
The first time I went to Alberta with Colin, he wanted to show me the hoodoos that he'd seen and was so impressed with as a kid. We drove past them several times before he realized we'd found them. "I remember them as so much bigger!" he said.
I love the layers of meaning in this piece, Kuzhali. Thanks.
Wonderful, Kuzhali! I love this piece.
Thank you for this piece celebrating Alberta from the lone Albertan at the CWC! Have you travelled here? Will you?
Great work, thanks so much for submitting!! Happy New Year to you and yours..xo
