Langley carvings - Mayor Ernie

This carving of first Langley mayor Ernie Sendall sits in Sandall Gardens - 201 A Street & 50 Avenue.

Sendall Gardens is an almost 4 acre park with beautiful and unique plants, shrubs and trees, plus two duck ponds. Apparently it is a popular place for wedding and family photos. The day we visited Mayor Ernie was the only person we shared the park with. The carving is by Pete Ryan.

Langley carvings - The Portage

This handsome carving of two men portaging a canoe stands in the plaza in front of the building that houses the library and Langley City offices. It's at the corner of 204th and Douglas Street. Carvings are by Pete Ryan.





Langley carvings - The Traders

These two figures make the piece called "The Traders." They stand facing toward each other near the corner of Fraser Highway and Glover Road. Carvings are by Pete Ryan.

Wood carvings of Langley - The Farmer

Since moving to Langley at the end of August, we've been exploring its streets and alleys. Along the way, we've made some lovely discoveries -- like the wood carvings done by Pete Ryan. So far, we've found six. Over the next few days I'll introduce them.

Today meet The Farmer. He stands at the corner of Glover Road and Duncan Way.
