Smashed Sheds

Each spring, our glaciers retreat; releasing, revealing winters' casualties. Benches, fences, sheds and outbuildings lie scattered on the dank, wet ground like the aftermath of an explosion.
Metal sheds + our climate are not a great pairing. 
Fragile ornamental shrubs and trees can really take a beating and this drives Kitimat gardeners to go to great lengths to bind and barricade prized specimens, leading to such odd sights as a globe shrub beneath its own temporary sturdy shed or the ubiquitous 'Klu Klux Cedars' all in a row sporting pointy, burlap hoods.
