    Though not a graveyard, this site earns the same reverence. Wreaths, flowers, stones and other small objects seem to be routinely left as gifts. In this image, a lone red plastic flower was left atop the bronze plaque that shared the history of the Castle Mountain Internment Camp in three languages – English, French, and Ukrainian. by: portlandvagabond Views[462] Flowers, pine cones, small rocks – all were left on the top of the stone on which the historical plaque was mounted. Inspired by the tradition, I too placed a small stone on top of the monument as a remembrance of those who were imprisoned here. by: portlandvagabond Views[513] Why? This simple question is the title of the roughhewn sculpture of an internee at the roadside marker remembering the treatment of Ukrainian immigrants during World War I. The few hand-picked wildflowers had been left as an offering in the hand of the sculpture. by: portlandvagabond Views[635]
