The woodpecker column

Today we go to the Canadian city of Toronto to see a beautiful piece of artwork by artists Dai Skuse and Kim Kozzi, who work under the name of Fastwurms. The artwork installed in 1997 is called the Woodpecker Column and is built from fibreglass and steel. The column is 30 metres tall and has an amazing pileated woodpecker hanging off it. There is another piece close by with a yellow-bellied sap sucker, which is also quite beautiful. The artwork is in front of the Toronto Convention Centre and is beautifully set amongst the trees, especially in the fall when we took this photo with amazing orange foliage.
