Elm Creek, MB - Across Canada in search of #BIGselfies trip 2014
Apart from being one of the windiest places I passed through Elm Creek is also home to the worlds second largest fire hydrant. There is a regular hydrant to the bottom left in this photo to give you an idea of just how large it is! Strangely my extensive research shows that this although easily eclipsing the previous biggest hydrant record falls in second place as a hydrant in the U.S is bigger and was in construction at exactly the same time as this one. This is weird because there were two giant hydrants being built at the same time and disappointing that as Canadians we didn't just add a few extra feet to win the race, this one was finished last after all
