Montreal, Quebec, Canada

I can’t tell you how many times I might have walked past the piece of public art called “L’arbre de vie” (Tree of Life) at the Lionel-Groulx métro station in Montreal … but only this week did I notice the faces etched into the tree trunk.

One of the many animal-themed sculptures on the sidewalk ringing the Pioneer Courthouse in Portland, Oregon. This view is from my visit to that city in March 2015.

Tenderness

Another throwback to my trip to northern Europe back in August 2014. This is one example of the many pieces of the public art in Helsinki, Finland.

Calgary Stampede, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

A wider view of By the Banks of the Bow, a public art installation at Calgary’s Stampede Park. Good to see people embracing this sculpture, literally and metaphorically. Here’s the tighter visual from a few days ago.
