Woodbine beach, Toronto This is one of my favorite beaches in the Toronto Beach area. The water looks so clear and the sand so fine. It’s a wonderful area of the city. I also enjoy walking along the boardwalk in this area.
Have you ever been to the Toronto Beach area?
A downtown Chicago bar and restaurant once owned by the famous sportscaster Harry Caray. The restaurant was full of character and oh the food was tasty! We just loved our trip to Chicago, the sights, music and food! Yum.
Metal bull moose sculpture, downtown Chicago.
Here in Toronto we have Moose too, but I like this Metallic moose quite a bit! Ours are colorful, but this one is large, heavy and powerful! It almost looks like it could move away on those powerful legs doesn’t it?
This is a sculpture that Pablo Picasso created for the city of Chicago. This statue has no name. It can be found in Chicago’s Daley Plaza.
The Chicago Picasso, an unpainted, three-dimensional, cubist sculpture standing 50 feet tall and weighing 162 tons, is made of Corrosive Tensile (“Cor-Ten”) steel, the same material used to build the Daley Center. Originally rust colored, the sculpture now has a darkish gray patina that nicely matches the one on the Daley Center building behind it.No doubt the most famous of Chicago’s many outdoor sculptures, the Chicago Picasso was unveiled in the Civic Center Plaza (as the Daley Plaza was then known), on August 15, 1967.
Greeted at first with much scorn and ridicule, the Chicago Picasso nonetheless marked the beginning of Chicago’s love affair with contemporary art, a love affair that would help turn downtown Chicago into a veritable open-air sculpture gallery, with some one hundred artworks spread all around the Loop for Chicagoans (and tourists) to enjoy.
