Excerpt from elcrossley.dsbn.org/about/the-mural:

The mural that adorns the front facade of the school building is an important and easily recognizable aspect of the school itself. Designed by Heinz Gaugel, it measures 44 feet by 66 feet and stands five stories high. The dominant feature of the mural is the two hands, because the artist believed that "education is only worthwhile if the hands are used to transform it into something". The remaining images reflect aspects of ancient cultures, modern technology and nature. The connection between education and all around us is prominent.

Maple Cottage

Maple Cottage was built by William Henry Pay between autumn 1871 and the spring of 1873. The house consists of the original one storey brick block, nearly square in plan with a raised stone foundation, and a single storey rear addition. Its facade faces north and is symmetrically arranged around three bays with a central front entranceway. The main block has a hipped roof with a projecting gable over the front porch; the rear wing is covered with a gable roof. The house is a solid example of the nineteenth century Ontario Cottage style with decorative elements that reflect both the Classical tradition (front porch design) and the Italianate style (windows and roof brackets).

Excerpt from www.cambridge.ca/en/learn-about/resources/main-street-HCD...:

The Granite Block: This classical revival pre-confederation section of Main Street, known as the Granite Block, is arguably the most significant building in downtown Galt. It identifies Galt as the granite city. In addition, the history of mercantile Galt can be traced back to this location as it was the site of Absalom Shade’s White store. The oldest portion of the Granite Block (#39) dates from 1851 having survived one of Galt’s major fires. The remainder was rebuilt after the fire in 1862.

The architectural composition of the Granite Block is one of clarity and fine proportions. The block is mainly three storeys high but with one higher four storey section. The wall material is granite and the windows, that are similar in size and proportion, form two continuous lines at second and third floors. The top line of windows at the fourth floor is arched. There is a slight variation in the treatment of the window lintels, roof cornices and wood detailing across the façade. The whole composition however is of fine visual unity and repose. The rear of the block comprises a series of stone facades of varying set back and height with new and old alterations.

This enchanted garden is less than three hours from Toronto, and, because of it's eerie vibe, is the perfect spot to visit for those interested in the spooky and unusual.

The Screaming Heads are located in Burk's Falls, and is half-art gallery, half-outdoor playground.

This surreal property is owned and operated by the Screaming Heads artist himself, Peter Camani, on his 300-acre land.

Visitors are welcome to wander around and admire the 20-ft concrete sculptures that adorn his gardens, including heads and hands that seem to be exploding out of the earth - making the property feel otherworldly.

Often referred to as Ontario's Stonehenge, the arrangement of the artwork may seem random, but seen from above, you'll discover the concrete sculptures form the shape of a dragon.

The Screaming Heads of Midlothian is open year round, but perhaps is best seen in fall because of the vibrant autumn foliage of the Almaguin Highlands Region.

Although it's free to enter, there is a donation box at the entrance, and visitors are encouraged to bring donations of non-perishable food items for the Burk's Falls and District Food Bank.

Description of the District

The Cross-Melville Heritage Conservation District is bounded by Sydenham, Melville, Cross and Victoria Streets in the former Town of Dundas, now the City of Hamilton. The district consists of 49 properties. These properties are predominantly single family dwellings with the exception of three churches.

Cultural Heritage Value of the District

According to the Cross-Melville Heritage Conservation District Study - Background Report the cultural heritage value of the district lies in its historical and associative value, design or physical value as well as the contextual value. The Background Report concludes:

“The Cross-Melville area constitutes a superb collection of buildings with particularly fine architectural attributes. Tree planted along the streets enhance the surroundings of individual buildings and provide expansive canopies over adjacent streets. Developed in the 1840s and 1850s as the first exclusively residential area distinct from the commercial and industrial locales of Dundas, this neighbourhood is associated with numerous prominent citizens, mayors and councillors, including George Rolph, William Notman, Alexis Begue and the Grafton family”.

Tokay geckos get their name from the barking sound they make, which to some sounds like "Toh-keh" and to others "geh-ko". In addition to communicating with each other these lizards also make a barking noise, while opening their wide mouths and showing off the dark lining to frighten off would-be predators or rivals. Like the lining of their mouths, their skin can darken or lighten with their mood, making them look light blue or even a greyish-purple.

The Clarence Street Bridge (also known as Bridge 21) is a vertical-lift bridge located in Port Colborne, Ontario. Built between 1927–1929 during 4th Welland Canal Construction, the bridge still serves today as a vital link connecting East and West Port Colborne. The structure uses simple electric motors and counterweights to raise the deck 36.5 meters (120ft.) above passing vessels. The raising and lowering of the bridge takes approximately 90 seconds. The western bridge approach, over former canal locks 26 and 27, was added when Bridge 21 was constructed, making these locks inoperable.

This bridge is one of only four remaining vertical-lift road bridges over the Welland Canal.

WELCOME // WE ARE ALL THE SAME //GRANDCHILDREN’S JOY

Artist: Pamela Rojas (@p.rojas.art)

Location: King Street (exterior mural KW Multicultural Centre), 102 King Street West

Medium: Mixed media mural

Pamela Rojas believes in and enjoys creating art as an individual artist. As a community art project where she integrates people in the process of executing the work, her experience teaches that art can be a vivid experience for different groups of people, and it also creates community bridges.

Rojas’ designs are inspired by a mix of Latin American muralists and Folk Art Style. Her painting presents us with a magical, peaceful, serene world with candour and imaginative spontaneity. She explores vivid colours, emotions, and the fusion of ceramic details. The essence and the character of Rojas’ style sprouts from the innocence of the mind, and simplicity, which removes constraints and allows more liberty in composition — transmitting a sense of happiness and surprise in a world as though seen by people for the first time.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

Roskilde Cathedral (Danish: Roskilde Domkirke), in the city of Roskilde on the island of Zealand (Sjælland) in eastern Denmark, is a cathedral of the Lutheran Church of Denmark.

The cathedral is the most important church in Denmark, the official royal burial church of the Danish monarchs, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is due to two criteria: the architecture of the cathedral shows 800 years of European architectural styles, and it is one of the earliest examples in Scandinavia of a Gothic cathedral to be built in brick; it encouraged the spread of the Brick Gothic style throughout Northern Europe. Constructed during the 12th and 13th centuries, the cathedral incorporates both Gothic and Romanesque architectural features in its design. The cathedral has been the main burial site for Danish monarchs since the 15th century. As such, it has been significantly extended and altered over the centuries to accommodate a considerable number of burial chapels and the many added chapels show different architectural styles.

The cathedral is a major tourist attraction, bringing in over 165,000 visitors annually. Since 1995, it has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its unique architecture. A working church, it also hosts concerts throughout the year.

Excerpt from www.railwaycitytourism.com/princess-ave-playhouse.html:

For over fifty seasons, the Elgin Theatre Guild has been entertaining audiences with productions ranging from comedies to dramas. Run entirely by volunteers, the Elgin Theatre Guild now produces four shows a year that bring thousands of patrons every year through the Princess Avenue Playhouse.

In addition to theatre productions, they host premier Canadian musical acts. In 2013, they presented the Juno Award-winning band Sloan, as well as Jimmy Rankin, among other fantastic acts.

The Princess Avenue Playhouse, home of the Elgin Theatre Guild, is located at 40 Princess Avenue. The former church, built in 1907 by the Church of Disciples, was sold to the Elgin Theatre Guild in 1987-1988, giving the building a new lease on life.

Since that time, the Guild has ensured that many of the original features of this fine building have been retained.

This handsome brick building, designed by architect Neil Darrach, has three outstanding facades (north, east, south) which are framed by two distinctively different towers. Anchored in the centre of each of the three facades at the second-floor level in the gable ends are sizable, circular stained-glass windows. These windows have been incorporated in several plays, including "Agnes of God". Noticeable in the brick construction of this building is the use of pink mortar.

In 2012, this water feature had 54 fountains and has since increased to over 100 jets. In 2020, Whistling Gardens was the first in Canada to incorporate computerized pumps into the existing fountain system, eliminating the need for piping and other specialized equipment. This new technology allows for greater flexibility in programming and choreography.

All music compositions & fountain choreography are created by the owner of the gardens.

The Italianate style house in yellow brick is a common feature of southern Ontario towns and many variations of it exist in Cambridge. The classical portico was added in 1890. The Taylor family will be remembered not only by their lovely home, but by their daughter, Mildred, as well. She was reported to have been the first woman to drive a car in Galt.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

Höchst Castle was the residence of the officers of the Archbishop of Mainz , in the former town of Höchst am Main , now a district (Stadtteil ) of Frankfurt am Main . It consists of the old castle (Altes Schloß), built between the 14th and 16th centuries, and the new one (Neues Schloß) , built at the end of the 16th century . Both are now owned by the association Deutsche Stiftung Denkmalschutz.

The so-called Alte Schloß is on the site of a 14th century castle, in the Gothic style, which collected customs duties. Only the tower (Bergfried) of this first castle is still visible: it was topped with a Baroque dome in 1681, which ensures the unity of style of all the buildings. In the lantern of the dome, stood the bell of the tocsin of the city since 1475; the said bell is now in a niche in the castle wall.

After the end of the Ecclesiastical Conflict of Mainz (1461–1463) and the conclusion of the Peace of Zeilsheim in October 1463, the deposed Archbishop of Mainz, Thierry of Isembourg was endowed with a small county, with the towns of Höchst, Steinheim and Dieburg: he settles in the castle of Höchst.

The rest of the castle was built in 1586 in the Renaissance style. The palace and the main buildings were burnt down during the Thirty Years' War by the troops of Bernard of Saxe-Weimar in January 1635. The castle was not rebuilt after the war and the stones of the ruins were reused in 1772 for the construction of the Bolongaro Palace.

The gatehouse to the east is representative of the Renaissance style: the facade is of two different styles, Doric on the ground floor, and Ionic upstairs; the ornamentation is very contrasting: gold and color alternate in the two styles.

Excerpt from the plaque:

Mullein:

•Considered a weed by most gardeners, Mullein has been used by herbalists for centuries to treat respiratory problems and skin conditions. The leaves and flowers of this plant contain compounds that act as a demulcent – something that soothes irritation in mucous membranes like the nose and throat. Applied directly to the skin, mullein can help burns and skin inflammation and when steeped in an oil, can be used to treat ear infections.

•Ancient Romans used spike-like clusters of Mulleins as torches.

•Mullein is used as a source of dyes that have applications in the cosmetic industry.

Severe weather conditions on October 31, 2019 caused the scow to shift significantly from the spot it remained in for over 100 years. Remarkably, high winds forced the scow to turn its position and shift further toward the brink of the falls.

While still lodged in the powerful rapids of the upper Niagara River, the future of the legendary scow remains uncertain.

Channel, 2004 by Liz Magor

Bronze

Over the past five decades, Liz Magor has developed a world-renowned practice that contemplates everyday items such as clothing, packaging, labels, furniture, twigs, branches, and tree stumps. Throughout our lives we are surrounded with ‘stuff’ both natural and fabricated, often forming complex relationships with them. Magor’s work considers what these relationships say about our personal desires and insecurities, as well as the wider pressures of societal, economic, and other outside forces that inform our attachments to things. Often her objects become subtly altered through processes of casting, remodelling, or resituating, so that the boundary between the real and the simulated is no longer clear.

Placed in a wooded area of Gairloch Gardens, Channel is a tree stump cast in bronze that seems at first glance to be entirely harmonious with its natural surroundings. A closer look, however, reveals two eye-like openings. This anthropomorphic twist catches us off guard, and reveals our profoundly unstable relationship to the things we think we know.

After the construction of the first Welland Canal, the Niagara Peninsula saw considerable economic growth. The canal project was initiated by William Hamilton Merritt, a prominent landowner in the area.

In 1868, the Merritt estate was subdivided creating the Triangular Tract, a new residential neighbourhood and Montebello Garden – which was later acquired by the City and is now known as Montebello Park. By the 1870s, Queen Street was a thriving residential street, and a large pavilion and bandstand was built in Montebello Park. It wasn't until 1913 that families settled in homes along Midland Street, bordering the park. The unique building styles in this neighbourhood, give the Queen Street Heritage District a diverse and rich historical streetscape.

Excerpt from the plaque:

“Rill”: A rill is a shallow channel out into soil by the erosive action of flowing water. What is left behind in this process is typically stones or boulders depending on the power of the water, serpentining through the area. It is by stepping on these stones that we typically pass over creeks and brooks to avoid getting wet. It’s always a fun experience doing this, navigating our way from one side to the other.

It was with this inspiration and the thought of playfulness that his sculpture was created. I pictured a parent or grandparent out with their kids and finding this sculpture. The adult taking a moment to sit and relax on the seat stone, the kids climbing and exploring the rill stones. Perhaps after while the adult would be inspired to join the kids in their adventures. Kids are helpful in bringing out the kid in adults.

As in nature, with a little inquisitiveness you will find may places to sit, lean against and lay down on the stones. It is an opportunity to connect with something that is real, and the wonderful intimacy found in this type of interaction.

Created from Erratic Granite boulders found at a site in Arkell, Ontario.
