This photo seems to fit right into the upcoming time of the year. It looks like a gigantic, German nutcracker to me. In what other season are walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts sitting on your coffee table? This is actually the world's largest tin soldier. He stands right here at the New Westminster Quay. This guy is nearly 35 feet tall and weighs in at 5 tons! Perhaps he needs to cut down on his carbohydrate intake. His waist looks quite trim though, so I guess he just has a big skeleton (of steel).
