    A beautiful place to escape the city concret and the bustlingcity life. Visit the Chinese or the Japanese garden for some zen time. The lantern festival is one of the highlights during the month of October.

    guestBook Guestbook/ Victoria53/ Feb 26, 2015 Wooden Horses

    Montreal's Botanical Gardens have many amazing sights to see. Perhaps one of the most unique and beautiful was the one I took a picture of and submitted- two horse shaped silhouettes made out of wood and bark. I feel like this is perfect and beautiful representation of Canada's wildlife. The horse shaped sculpture represents the animals that live in the wild, where as the wood that it was constructed from represents the natural plants that the animals live with. These two sculptures are stunning representations of the harmony and peace that lies between the animals and the plants of Canada. The two parts of the sculpture blend so seamlessly that at a quick glance, you wouldn't know that it was made out of wood. I believe that the artist who created these two stunning sculptures was really able to capture the true essence of the Canadian wilderness and how spectacularly connected and interdependent our plants and animals are to one another.
