Art in Haliburton

Art is everywhere - even in a forest in cottage country in Haliburton, Ontario which I discovered in a recent holiday in the Haliburton Highlands.  The Haliburton Sculpture Forest is a unique opportunity to view a collection of sculptures by Canadian and International artists as you meander along wooded forest trails within Glebe Park. There are 26 sculptures in total. See www.haliburtonsculptureforest.ca/ for more details. 


Here are a few of my favorites:

A Walk in the Woods  Mary Ellen Farrow-Stylized limestone hiker holding a bronze cast of a maple leaf 2001
