I went to Whistler last weekend and it was awesome.<\/p>\n

More on that later, but today I wanted to share some photos of a remarkable mural we saw in an underpass as we walked back to the car from the Merlins pub at the Blackcomb base. I was quite blown away by it, and yelled at everyone that they had to wait for me so I could take some photos for my blog. They weren’t too happy about this, as we were rushing to pick up food and beer before watching the last Canucks game of the regular season, so some of the shots are a little rushed. But, as you’ll see, that doesn’t detract too much from the glory of the mural…<\/p>\n

This marine life scene was the first thing that caught my eye. Opinion is divided as to which of the three grey creatures are supposed to be whales, and which (if any) are supposed to be sharks. I think the top one's a shark. Actually, the bottom one might be a dolphin.<\/p><\/div>\n

Who lives in a (what IS that thing?) under the sea? SIX LEGGED SQUISHED CRAB!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Land animals were represented too - like these wolves, for instance...<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

...weird and wacky wolves! Does anyone know a good veterinary chiropracter?<\/p><\/div>\n

Mr E Man thought I was being far too gleefully mean. "It was probably done by some elementary school kids or something", he said. But no. (I Googled the names).<\/p><\/div>\n

This mural made my day. It was so bright and cheerful and hilarious. If you go to Whistler, forget the traditional activities of skiing, boarding, bobsledding, bungee jumping, zip trekking, hiking, drinking and hot tubbing – you need<\/em> to visit this mural.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
