Eagle atop a carved sculpture. Port Perry, Ontario
The EAGLE proudly sits on its nest. Originally a white ash tree on a main street, this sculpture was carved by wildlife sculptor Adam Connolly who said "I hope it [the sculpture] allows people to have a better understanding of nature, the arts, and the preservation of our heritage."
And to see what is carved below the EAGLE scroll down...
Bits and pieces of the sculpture in mosaic form
and see the rest of the sculpture as a mosaic. And then scroll down a bit more...

Very nice. I think I like the heron's on the stump almost better than the Eagle---well not really I guess I like the whole thing. Nice find. MB
Great art. Beautiful mosaic.
This is really interesting. Has he done other works? That bear bench maybe? ;-)
Is that a real tree? The carving is beautiful! :-D

I love this kind of sculpture, the wood is gorgeous.

It is so amazing to see a tree saved and used as an art object rather than cut down to the ground and used for firewood. Beautiful carving by a talented artist. Thanks for sharing!

This is so cool! I am wondering what tools are used to carve. Do you know?
WOW EG. This is an amazing sculpture including two of my favorite birds. Great captures. Love the mosaic you created.
I think that it is so amazing that someone can look at a piece of wood and see that. Me, I look at a piece of wood and think how many smores I could make from its' flames. Love the pics!
This is beautiful. What a lovely piece of art. I love eagles. I think they stand for patriotism and faith. Anne
that is a gorgeous piece of art ... i love the herons on the side.
What a remarkable talent the sculptor has! These types of carvings always amaze me!
Very beautiful. I tend to see more of this kind of wood sculpting on the Pacific West Coast. Always beautiful.
that reminds me I need to check out a tree carving in our local park.

I want one of those carvings on my front porch...
I have a nesting pair that hang out at my place and when they take flight, my heart skips a beat! They are absolutely beautiful....
Thanks for sharing these gorgeous carvings with us...
oh. I love this. The sculpture is lovely and I also like the tree the artist had chosen for this piece.
What a gorgeous piece!
Thanks for sharing it.

That is so amazing! How one earth can anyone carve like that?
What beautiful carving. I tried my hand once at carving balsa wood with a small chisel. After about 8 stitches and 2 hours at the emergency room I recognized it might not be my true calling.
This artist is truly a master, though and I suspect he uses some big old chisels to create this amazing work.
Thanks for sharing this lovely post with us on our little journey through Alphabe-Thursday.
A+
This sculpture is absolutely magnificent -- and beautiful.
