I returned to this one sculpture to unlock more of its secrets - many times I wonder if all of this was planned before hand. Many times I wonder if all we see was planned before hand...

This one is for Barbera....who has been braving the Toronto winter to bring us wonderful abstracts.

Corten steel is a weather-resistant structural steel. Its distinctive feature is that, while it does rust, it does not rust through like ordinary steel. Its special alloy forms an extremely dense barrier layer (patina) that effectively protects the underlying material from further corrosion caused by the elements.

Cortenstahl ist ein wetterfester Baustahl. Das Besondere daran ist, dass er zwar rostet, aber nicht wie gewöhnlicher Stahl durchrostet. Seine spezielle Legierung bildet eine extrem dichte Sperrschicht (Patina), die das Material im Inneren effektiv vor weiterer Korrosion durch Witterungseinflüsse schützt.

I happened to be in Stillwater on this day, and seeing the nice updates from the peeps in the field about a late transfer from the CN, I decided to take a little detour north before heading home. Managed to hike to the bridge with only about 10 minutes of waiting before this nice trio of matching SDs pulled across in perfect light.
