Lineal Order

Part of an art installation by George Boileau, 1990,
on Simcoe St., between King and Wellington.
A bronze statue of a bare footed man wearing an overcoat.
Behind him on the wall is ‘his shadow’.

Close up of a bronze sculpture of a man. In this picture you can only see his head and shoulders. Behind him on a wall is a black silhouette that looks like his shadow. A large white planter is also in the picture although there is nothing growing in it.

A bronze sculpture of a man in bare feet. He is wearing an overcoat. He is standing with his arms passively at his side. Behind him on a wall is a black silhouette that looks like his shadow. A large white planter is also in the picture although there is nothing growing in it.

Not seen in this photo is another figurative sculpture.  A small boy stands on the other side of the stairs.  He too is bare foot and wearing a coat.  He is looking toward the shadow on the wall.

Reflections I noticed as I walked up Simcoe and across King  this afternoon. 

Reflections in the building across the street, some women are walking by with their bicycles, a street car is just coming into view.

I often see tourists stopped here to take photos. I decided that it was my turn today. The CN Tower is also reflected in this building, along with St. Andrews Church.

.

More downtown reflections of tall buildings.

Curved window beside the entrance to St. Andrews subway station.

.

Two small trees in the foreground. Some tall buildings reflected in the windows of another building are behind the trees.

Roy Thomson Hall just sneaks into the lower left corner of the picture.

.

Reflections of streetlights in a window, lots of horizontal blue bars are in the windows too.

My selfie for the day!
