Medicine Hat Alberta

The world's tallest tepee, the Saamis Teepee (built for the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics), stands more than 20 stories high and has a base diameter of 50m. Native artwork depicting the colourful native history of Southern Alberta has been incorporated on 12 ft. diameter storyboards. This tepee had more engineering challenges in its construction than did Eiffel Tower, and is built to withstand extreme temperatures and 150 mph winds. Its colors are white for purity, red for the rising and setting sun, and blue for flowing waters.

Saamis (SA-AH-UMP-SIN) is the Blackfoot word for eagle tail feather headdress (hat worn by a Medicine Man – or Medicine Hat).

Charlie Chaplin mural by Mr. Brainwash – a French-born street artist linked to Banksy.Mr. Brainwash (often written MBW) is a name used by French-born, Los Angeles-based street artist Thierry Guetta. According to the 2010 Banksy-directed film Exit Through the Gift Shop you've got to love the title), Guetta was a proprietor of a used clothing store, where he began as a security guard, and amateur videographer who was first introduced to street art by his cousin, the street artist Invader, and who filmed street artists through the 2000s and "evolved" into an artist in his own right in a matter of weeks after an off-hand suggestion from Banksy.

From their website:

Fukitol was born of a Robin Williams gag. Then it was made into a worldwide phenomenon by a couple of enterprising Canadians which was also a gag. The Fukitol brand is now REAL. We have developed real products to relieve stress and sooth the mind. Fukitol flies in the face of big pharma and is a revolution combining traditional marketing of real products with a tongue in cheek approach.

March 2017 - Carmel CA



Mission San Carlos Borromeo del río Carmelo, also known as the Carmel Mission or Mission Carmel, is a Roman Catholic mission church It is on the National Register of Historic Places and a U.S. National Historic Landmark. The mission was the headquarters of the Alta California missions headed by Saint Junípero Serra from 1770 until his death in 1784.

The mission buildings and lands were secularized by the Mexican government in 1833, and had fallen into disrepair by the mid-19th century. They were partially restored beginning in 1884. In 1886 it was transferred from the Franciscans to the local diocese and has continued as a parish church since then. It is the only one of the California Missions to have its original bell tower dome.

The Carmel mission church is one of the most authentically restored of all the mission churches in California.

Out to the gardens.

The Cemetery is to the right of the Basilica as you are facing the front of the Basilica.  In particular, note the use of shells to outline the various graves. At the entrance you will also see a cross.
