Mooses? I don’t think that there’s a plural for moose …

We took this photo of a metal moose while attending an Art fair here in Toronto. This moose is made out of a recycled oil tank!

This second moose was found in front of a Chicago building.

Do you have interesting animal artwork or statues in your city?

Addicted to Heavy Metal

There’s all kinds of addictions, but this one takes the cake …

This past June a Swedish man, Roger Tullgren, 42, was granted supplemental income benefits by the Swedish government’s employment service.

Tullgren was granted this income based on his illness of addiction to heavy-metal music. Maybe he should have held out for a structured settlement, although I’m not sure governments do those kinds of settlements.

Tullgren stated that he’d been addicted to the music for 10 years and finally succeeded in getting three psychologists to sign papers officially calling his condition a disability.

He’s now allowed to play music while he works as a dishwasher.

Unbelievable!

Not Woody

Wordless Wednesday

This is another photo that we took when we were at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition on Saturday.

I’d love to have purchased this woodpecker for my garden. Maybe it would scare away the pigeons that like to hang out in our yard.

The metal artwork at this booth was very expensive. I’m not sure how much that woodpecker was but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a couple hundred dollars.

Metallic Beaver - just a little one.

I’m Canadian, eh. When we see a beaver we have to take a photo of it. Even if it’s fake.

We were at an outdoor art exhibition on Saturday when we came across an artist that had created metal sculptures of all kinds of animals. Moose, pigs, frogs, fish, birds and many others.

The sculptures were fantastic. I’m sure I’ll be posting more of them here.

One of the things that I really liked about the sculptures is the fact that they are made out of old metal items like the moose that’s made out of an old oil tank, or the pig that’s made out of an old propane tank. What better way to recycle?
