More Toronto Sculpture

 Recent posts have told you about my looking for doors and street art during my walks around Toronto, and the other thing I am constantly on the lookout for are sculptures. A couple of months after we “moved” here I posted about a Toronto Sculpture walk, and did the same in China, and in Florida. There are lots of statues and sculptures all over Toronto and I find something new on most walks. Here are a few of the most recent ones I have found.

This one is in what is called a "Sculpture Garden", and the art featured changes regularly. This one looks like the Loch Ness Monster, but is in fact the wave lengths of various local sounds, a Streetcar, a church bell, etc. Very interesting. 

This sculpture shows how everyone is equal before the law - thus the lion on one end and the small cat on the other, but the scale is level. 

This is three cube shapes balanced together in a little park but I have no idea what it represented.

A fireman rescuing a child from a fire is at Queen's Park and honours Toronto's fire service.

This one is a mystery. It is a huge metal stop watch but has no hands on the face. It is fastened to a large rock and is facing away from the street, so you can only see it when walking between two large office building. And behind the watch is a little sculpture of a sleeping cat. 

This is one of my favourite statues. It is huge and extends up and becomes part of the building behind it. It looks like an animal with four legs, but also like a tree with branches, but what looks like leaves from a distance are actually hundreds of metal birds. I could find no plaque explaining what it was, but it is an amazing piece of art.
