Very nice blues.

There is some quality to this presentation. Not great art but not thoughtless vandalism either.

Spirit Catcher

We had a family gathering in Barrie for Easter Weekend. Sunday involved the “Easter Parade” on the waterfront where all enjoyed the first warm day in ages.

The central feature of the waterfront is “Spirit Catcher“.

Spirit Catcher I

A magnificent dynamic sculpture.

It’s very similar today.

How quickly we forget.
