They look cradled in Mother Earth. I think this is the way they are supposed to end.
I hope they fell naturally although they look freshly painted.
Wonderful photojournalism Jess.

I have always admired totem poles. Is that one a bear?

colourfully carved poles from a colourfully named people...too bad they are fallen, still the salmon-chewing bear seems to enjoy the moment...V
