Monochrome Monday - Search Light, Star Light, Spot Light

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 <a href="http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM9TDX_Search_Light_Star_Light_Spot_Light_Toronto_ON">the source I discovered</a>, 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!

Apologies in advance for the spam, I assure you, it's for a good cause.  I gave you a tiny ass vote, you won't notice it, but, I did.
