Here we continue with the snow sculptures in Jacques Cartier Park as they looked for Winterlude 2017.
I mentioned in yesterday's post about what was then a glimpse of the future. MosaiCanada was a big event for Canada's 150th anniversary. It was held in the park that year and the following, with big topiary sculptures. This was the biggest of them all, an Indigenous Mother Earth sculpture. At the time of this visit, the frame of it was wrapped in white canvas awaiting the spring. If you'd like to see more of it, go for a deep dive by clicking MosaiCanada in the tags below.
My last view today: a look towards the Ottawa shoreline with the spires of Parliament Hill in the distance.
These are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful sculptures.
ReplyDeleteThe huge tree in your parting shot is eye-catching.
ReplyDeleteSo much snow! I think you would not be happy here - if lucky you can build a tiny snowman, no such beauties as you show.
ReplyDeleteMother Earth is under serious siege right now, William. All mothers protect their children but it may be too late for Mother Earth to any longer protect us.
ReplyDeleteGosto destas esculturas.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.
