A delicate balance

@Ryan Yam: Thanks. If I'd gone in closer, I think it might have made an interesting shot, but with this one, I liked the signs overhead for colour and context.

@Srinivas: The story here, is that this is a street artist creating a kind of temporal art, similar to sidewalk paintings. He is asking for donations, and he did draw many crowds. And I haven't seen anything quite like it either. Stone balancing as an art form comes from the inuksuk structures created by the Inuit people of the artic. This art form has become more popular in recent years especially (I think) in Canada.

Anyway, while I've seen many balanced stones before, this is the first time I've seen it done with bricks and building materials, and they were quite impressive. So - an urban interpretation of an ancient form.

He is in front of a butcher shop (European Quality Meat and Sausages) which was closed on Sunday and Monday due to Thanksgiving holiday.

@Ian: Thanks!

@Tyson Williams Photography: Thanks.

@Kelvin Chan: I see your point, but I stand by the composition of this shot. In this case, pixels didn't permit, So it would have to have been a different shot if I wanted it to be more of a close up.
