Yesterday, I shared the selfie standing on Woodbine Beach in front of the Steam Canoe. I had taken this photo at the end of my pilgrimage to the seven Winter Stations. I came down from the north, from Queen Street East through Kew Gardens park, walking south to the Kew and Balmy Beaches. Reaching the easternmost point of Balmy Beach, I then had to double back to Woodbine Beach to their west.

The first I had seen was Floating Ropes, on Woodbine Beach. It created a wonderful self-enclosed space for children to play in.

Aurora Borealis was the first interactive exhibit I came across, with the wheel on the topped that could be tugged around by the playful.

Sauna was an actual working sauna, or would have been if the stove was turned on.

Flow was ingenious, a mound of wooden toys shaped like ice crystals. People had fun picking them up and throwing them back on.

In the Belly of a Bear created an interior space, a round wooden globe lined on the inside with fur and with a porthole looking up into the blue sky.

The Steam Canoe was ingenious, a beautiful thing of wood that could not have seen its full use. When it's 20 degrees below, solar panels can melt snow into steam. This was not at all possible on Sunday.
