It's really strange to see this figure on our way, along the Richelieu. She is beautiful, with beautiful color. Difficult to see if you are driving fast, although it is 70 km / hour. This is only a decoration on the house!?

"Kokopelli is a mythical figure often depicted as a humpbacked flute player, from ancient Native American beliefs Southwest U.S., it has more than 3000 years. In some myths, Kokopelli's hump contains seeds, plants, babies, moccasins and blankets, bags of songs, sacred and medicinal items, all of which are intended to be offered to people he wants to seduce or content. while sowing hidden in the hollow of his hump seeds he sings and plays the flute. he breathes, and in the seeds, the breath of life. he is welcome during the planting season maize and is wanted by infertile wives.

C'est vraiment étrange de voir cette silhouette sur notre chemin, au bord du Richelieu. Elle est belle, avec de belle couleur. Difficile à voir si vous roulez vite, quoique que c'est 70 km/heure. Ce n'est qu'une décoration sur la maison?!?

"Kokopelli est un personnage mythique souvent représenté comme un joueur de flûte bossu, issu des anciennes croyances amérindiennes du Sud-Ouest des États-Unis, il a plus de 3 000 ans. Dans certains mythes, la bosse de Kokopelli contient des graines, des plantes, des bébés, des mocassins et des couvertures, des sacs de chansons, des objets sacrés ou médicinaux, le tout étant destiné à être offert aux personnes qu'il souhaite séduire ou contenter. Tout en semant les graines cachées au creux de sa bosse, il chante et il joue de la flûte. Il insuffle, ainsi, dans les semences, le souffle de la vie. Il est le bienvenu pendant la saison des plantations de maïs et il est recherché par les épouses stériles." Wikipedia
