Statue Series - What's The Story: The River Man

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

I have blogged about his hidden gem in my travel blog which I so want to copy paste, because it's nice to have all blogs I have in one place, like you know, if Steemit is really gonna be the future (😉), would be nice to have at one place instead logging in to websites I have accounts at, but for sure @cheetah will show up AGAIN 😂😂😂😂

Found this awesome monument by accident actually. A couple classmates and I were just wondering lost in Quebec City and there it was, a very interesting statue with logs, which we didn't know what story about.

Obviously couldn't surf the net at that time to find info about this monument. So only once home I learned this is a symbolic figure of history and culture of Quebec.

Why is this monument almost like at a hidden alley (of course it wasn't just an alley, but between the known Price Building and some houses - Price Building is a tall skyscraper in Quebec City, one one the oldest in the country), is actually depicting the log driver going through a river gorge with his logs.

Thanks For Looking!

Great statue. I can not imagine trying to stand on logs in water.
