I thought this was really cool. It sits in front of a new building in downtown Calgary, called the Bow Tower. I left some people in the shot to show a sense of scale. It's huge!

I hope the artist doesn't get a big head about it. :p

In seriousness, that's pretty impressive. Is it self-supporting, or braced to that framework behind it?

It's self standing. It sits in front of the Bow building, which is in itself an impressive building for it's geometric shape and styling.

The bottom picture is shot looking through it from the inside of the head. Unfortunately, I don't have a wide angle lens to truly capture what that looks like, but hopefully you get the idea. The framework you see is part of the building.
