Winter From East To West

Each year before Valentine's Day, it is typical to find a heart ice sculpture carved in Confederation Park.


I stopped by where the Kettle Boys were set up; I wanted a photograph of the fire, and a demonstration was going on.


I liked this art installation, consisting of four different posts with representations of flora and fauna.

  4. I looked at the last four photos a couple of times and then went back and saw that they were art installations and then I said"Oh, Cool!"
