I ❤️ #conefest!!

A quick look at the #Ottawa Traffic Cone Festival today. This was a wonderful sculpture of one whole cone and one smashed.

Remember the #conefest motto: "traffic cones for no reason at all!!"

A great new sculpture seen along the bike path in Ottawa west of Pimisi Station. It is entitled "Man's Inhumanity to Man #12" and really captures the pathos of human life on this planet.
