This is a gorgeous, overwhelming sculpture which dominates the space it occupies. This made it very difficult to get an establishing shot.

You can sort of see here how it's reflected in the building next to it. It's sort of surrounded by glass which reflects it and adds to the effect.

Later I walked past it at night and found it rather haunting.

For those of you interested, a lemony tour of some of Toronto's landmarks is up over on the Lemon's journal. http://hunt-the-lemon.livejournal.com/3779.html

Ooo, that is pretty! Is it in Toronto?

It is indeed. It was odd, because it was impossible to tell what the details were from across the street, which was where I came from. Apparently each bird was done individually. It's a very impressive piece of art.

Wow! I love it! It's so interesting and dynamic.

It really is! It was hard to take pictures because it really was sprawling, and looking over what I have I'm not quite satisfied and wish I could have another crack at it. Oh well, the point is it's a really great sculpture. :-)

In somewhat related news, I thought of you yesterday when I ran across a box of fake lemons at Target. They were "vase fillers"!

LOL - I guess it's good to have a totem! :-)

I don't really understand why artificial lemons exist...but I'm pleased they do.

tks for checking in and thinking of me, that made me smile.
