Guy finds a Bear and Two Old Men hiding within a Giant Cedar Tree

While scuba diving and exploring the area of Tuwanek on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, just a short ferry ride from Vancouver, Brent found something very interesting. Along with such a beautiful location and one of the top diving locations in the area there are art pieces called Tree Spirits which occur randomly in the area. This 3 piece artwork he found right on the property of the cabin Brent and some friends rented for the weekend while scuba diving in the area.
Following is some information about the Tree Spirits. It would be great to explore and locate some others in the area.Show more

"LEGEND OF WOOD SPIRITS
There are wood spirit legends in almost every culture as far back as history goes, focusing on Native American, African. It's being told that wood carvers from these cultures looked for a face, animal, or other character that they saw imbedded in the grain of the wood, then worked to "release" it.

Many different cultures throughout history have believed that "Spirits" inhabit the trees of the forest. Some believed that Spirits were living within the tree from its beginning, others believed the spirits of passed ancestors returned to the earth and existed in one of its many forms.

The legend of the wood spirits marked with an effigy, carving or containing naturally appearing images of spirits, are considered very good luck."
