I remember the discussion about the cost of designing the "Circle of light" public art work over Deerfoot trail, close to the airport. I recall it was in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, just for the design.
It's literally a large metal circle with a set of "antlers" that holds a couple of lights.
I told my wife that I could have designed the main part of it by putting my coffee mug on the paper and drawing around the edge with a pencil.
At least it appears "finished" whereas the piece that is on the south side of 16 Ave N, close to the old Olympic site, looks like they were pounding steel into the ground to reinforce something and then hung some rocks on it.....
