It’s rare to find a little bit of landscaping that can pass as art, without bending the mind to do so. Here’s one, though, for sure:

Talk about Home on the Range in 3-D! Now, while this memory capture device is a lovely example of the transformation of the English colony of the Okanagan into the Ukrainian colony of the Canadian Prairies as a generation retires with oil money in their pockets and moves away from the winter to a place close in its imagination to heaven, there are other versions…
