From time to time we get the witness different forms of art.  I am always amazed at the different forms in which people demonstrate their passion.  I don’t know how many times I drove past and never took the time to explore this outdoor art gallery.   I’m in awe of how a man can look at a piece of wood and see a mountain lion, salmon or a bear.  Some of this art was formed by a true visionary.   I don’t know if chain saw art is found in other areas of the United States but it is quite prevalent around here.
