Back from Montreal


So we're back from a great holiday in Montreal -- a fascinating experience and there'll be more in the blog soon.

It was interesting to find a Mason sculpture not far from where we were staying - The Illuminated Crowd.

Have to say that I thought it was quite similar to the 'Forward' sculpture that used to grace Centenary Square her in Birmingham until it was destroyed by vandals in 2003 ...

I'm not a very creative person, but it seems that (yet again) an artist has an idea that's too good to only use once (is this self-plagiarism?).
