Loonie

A couple of weeks ago 20 new bike rings were installed on Bloor St W in the Bloordale neighbourhood. The rings were all designed by students at Bloor Collegiate Institute which is in the area and they are so much nicer than the usual ones installed by the city. I'll sprinkle them in among my posts over the next little while. This one is a good representation of a loon don't you think?

  2. It is. That'll make a good shadow shot as well, depending on how much sunlight comes down there. There's a stretch of one of our streets here with these metal art works that cast good shadows through the spaces.

  3. Isn't the loon Minnesota's state bird? What I like about it is that it was designed by students.

  4. Very nice! What a great idea to put these up and make them little works of art.

  5. Wow, the design of this bike ring is beautiful and appropriate. It almost looks too good to chain a bike to. Looking forward to seeing more of these.

  6. Great design and I like even more that it was designed by students. That will be great for shadows whenever you get some sun.

  7. Same thing here. Bike racks are now also a piece of art.

  8. Very nice design!
    If you get a chance, please do check out ones made by David Byrne, which are in NYC.
    Have a Happy Weekend, Pat!
    Peace :)

  10. Definitely much more appealing than the normal run of the mill bike rack Pat, little artistic touches popping up unexpectedly are always fun to find 😊
