Inside the Scotia Plaza (the reddish building in yesterday's post), you will find this huge mural, "Waterfall", consisting of 69 oil on canvas panels (each 7' x8') rising up over 100 ft in the 15 storey atrium. Created by Canadian artist Derek Besant and installed in 1989, the mural depicts in full scale the largest waterfall in Johnston Canyon Alberta (near Banff). When completed it was the largest indoor mural in Canada!

I swear! Everyday, I'm learning something new about T.O. here. Fantastic, since I hate driving down the 401. Why bother when I have your blog? Thanks. Excellent shot. (difficulty: high)
Bonne Saint-Jean!
What a spectacular sight!
What a massive undertaking Red, wonder how long it took him to complete it, very impressive indeed!!
Wow! Quite nice. An eye-catcher.
This is great, I really like the puzzle like installation.
Wow! Recorded waterfall sounds to go along with the incredible visual would be awesome.
That's quite a mural! Toronto seems to have quite an artistic bent, if your blog is anything to go by:-)
