Peace Arch Park at the U.S.--Canada border is a beautiful spot to visit.  It is maintained with flower-
filled landscaping and has a dozen or so sculptures by a wide variety of artists, changed each year. This first of three pages has photos by Harry Pagels. The subsequent two pages have photos by Herb Lindberg, who was visiting Harry and Carol in Bellingham, WA, with wife Mary. We hope the beauty shown in these photos encourages you to visit the park yourselves.

The extent of the park and changing flowers and statues make it worthwhile to view photos from a previous visit in 2008.

I love this driftwood statue of a moose. His snout is perfect.


It's snout is still perfect at this angle, and we see the legs.

Herb enjoys the same flowers.

This closer view shows that the designs on the "skin" include faces, mouths and teeth.
