Metropolis by David Partridge

Just inside the front doors of Toronto City Hall is "Metropolis" by David Partridge, a huge nail mural made up of over 100,000 nails. It is in the shape of a city, with the central circle representing downtown; the heart of the city.

about seemsArtless

This is my long standing photoblog - think Instagram before Instagram. Back in 2004 I bought a Canon digital 10D with a great lens, and thought I'd force myself to take lots of pictures. The site contains more than 1,300 photos, so safe to say I have the quantity part taken care of.

Be sure to say hi if you see me on the street!
