ceannmore

The new sculpture in Canmore, The Head, is based on the word ceannmore – the Scottish-Gaelic word that’s said to be the origin of the towns name. It literally means ‘big head’ (although possibly in the sense of wise leader, not large and lurking stone noggin emerging from the pavement).

 

 

All sorts of headgear have been turning up on him. This crocheted beanie/toque appeared just at the start of the cold snap (and no, it wasn’t me).

yellow peril

playing on the ‘yellow peril’ sculpture. that’s not it’s real name, but a nick name it picked up when originally installed around 20 years ago. this was part of an expedition around the city finding things to climb on :)
