Hello, steemians!

After a week long pause from steemit, I am back with my participation in the #MonochromeMonday challenge, hosted by lovely @old-guy-photos. Today, I chose to share with you my photographs of metal sculptures that reside in front of the Scotia Bank Arena in Toronto (formerly known as Air Canada Centre, but sponsors change, and with them also the name of a stadium/arena/centre/whatever).

This three large metal beacons form an artwork named: Search Light, Star Light, Spot Light. The sculpture was created by a Canadian artist John McEwen and unveiled in December 1998 (it took me unreasonably long online search to find any information about the sculpture, but I don't like to post pictures without a proper description).

According to the source I discovered, each of the tube is perforated by a thousand of these star shaped holes:

I am thankful for the existence of this #MonochromeMonday challenge, because it gave me the opportunity to learn something about the piece of art I've seen so many times before during my walks around downtown Toronto, and to share that new knowledge with you.

Have a nice week, steemians!

@animalcontrol is a spam bot run by @fulltimegeek as part of his flag campaign against users who speak out against him.

This is his way of having a little hissy fit because we refuse to believe the Earth is flat.

Free speech?!?! Nah, not unless you believe the Earth is flat or hosts elevator using aliens!! Right, @fulltimegeek?
