Today's picture at the Palais de Congres in Montreal. Things you learn once you take the pic. Claude Cormier's highly original and colourful Jardin Nature légère / Lipstick Forest, located where Place Jean-Paul-Riopelle and Viger halls meet, features 52 pink coloured trees made of concrete. This surrealist installation produced by sculptors from the Aquanov Group is intended to reproduce the trees lining Montréal’s Park Avenue. This nod to nature living in harmony with the city’s centre was awarded the first prize in the landscape architecture category by the Institute of Design Montréal, and the second prize by the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects.
