Michel Saulnier's "Echo" sculpture.
Does it look like a totem pole of teddy bears?

The building in the background is the "Caron Building". It was built in 1923 when commercial skyscrapers' height was limited to 10 floors or 130 feet maximum.
A Downtown Oasis.
This space used to be an old city parking lot. In 2002, the Domtar Paper Company purchased it and collaborated with the City of Montreal to create this green space. Its downtown location provides an ideal respite from the hustle and bustle and it is greatly appreciated by the lunch crowd.
Looks comfy! better than a parking lot, anyway you look at it.
ReplyDeleteFun sculpture in the downtown garden! It looks like teddy bears all stacked up towards each other!

Bonne journee Ken du Canada
My goodness Ken, I hardly recognise Montreal any more with all those high-rise buildings. Is that Rougemont in the far distance?
ReplyDeleteSure I picked your parent's house, I'm just not used to see so many houses there.
Thanks, That's a really great shot.
Forgot, from the first shot I actually did think
ReplyDeletetotem pole' but in the next, the gentle rolly-poly teddies got in the way of that idea.
I was going to say pigs...but yeah, I guess they look like bears, too! haha. Love your oasis. All that green is wonderful!
