Street Art Sunday #4This old horse is one of my faviourite pieces of street art in downtown Calgary. He's been there as long can remember though these days he's looking a little sad. He has somehow ended up on a shadowed street corner ( hence the contrast in this picture) where no one really notices him much.
He's made from scrap metal; old pitchforks, tractor seats, engine parts that I'm not qualified to identify and stands about 9 feet tall (too high to climb on his back for a ride.)
And in the background is Calgary's most distinctive landmark...the Tower.
This is so cool! What a fantastic composition! Well done.
ReplyDeleteThis is a terrific shot, the way you got the tower behind sad horse is simply fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI enlarged the photo and the horse looks very substantial, not to mention interesting. The medallion on the forehead is pretty spectacular.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I think he looks majestic.
ReplyDeleteI love the angle of this shot! I think the horse is actually quite magnificent.

ReplyDeleteHmmm. I would think the home of the Calgary Stampede wold want to showcase this horse.
