Minneapolis MN - The hands in the park





Heard about the art installation in Boom Island so added to our bike route this week.  Great day for a ride and interesting to stop by and see the art.  

It definitely is something you should see from above - but we could identify different parts as we wandered around.  Still great to be selected to be part of the continuing event.  

Added a couple pics from above that were on the site or in the article that sent me this direction.

Toronto Ontario Canada - Old and new and lots and lots of new

 
































I love the old traditional you find everywhere in Toronto.  And Toronto is as good as anyone as blending the old with the new.  And I am not sure if there is anywhere that is building new and tall as quickly as Toronto.  Cranes any direction you look in the Central Zone of the City.  

Toronto Ontario Canada - The Big Red Ball and World Cup Fever















World Cup Fever is settling in to Toronto.  As one of the hosts, there are things popping up an signs counting down the days - should be an exciting time for them. 

And I got to catch the Big Red Ball in two locations - an art project that moves a massive red ball around to busy community locations over a period of time.
