Friday My Town Shoot Out - metal

The Friday "My Town" shoot out is comprised of a bunch of scallywags who run amuck with their cameras capturing fun stuff to share. There's no greater scallywag than Audrey who chose "metal" as the theme for today's shoot out.

These metal construction cranes are on site at the new Woodstock General Hospital property. I work in a building at the current WGH and know that medical staff are eagerly anticipating the completion of the new faciltity and the modern state of the art space it will provide.

This unusual character is known as the Iron Man and he stands at the north end of the city where Highway 59 becomes Vansittart Ave. This perspective doesn't really do him justice - he stands about 10 feet tall.

The metal peeping through the trees on the Youth Start Trail is a train box car. The trains run along one border of the park. It's a little surreal to be walking through the woods and suddenly see and hear a train creep by on the elevated rails -more metal.

This group of signs and the tractor in the distance account for a few more bits of metal. I like the pop of the signs against the blue sky.

This one is a bit of a cheat. This iron beaver sits atop a doorway at 1 Front Street in Toronto (not "my" town) but it's so cool, I couldn't resist including it here.

Patty and Reggie Girl cooked up the shoot out cockamamie idea awhile ago and a cast of thousands -okay, a lot less than a thousand - has hopped on for the ride. You find the cast list on the right side of this blog. Please try to visit a few if you can. There's no end to the fun!
