They look kind of spooky don't they. They felt kind of spooky.
Last fall the kids and I stumbled upon these large cement creations and have since wanted to return to show Dad. We decide to take a road trip, this being one of our destinations. We were greeted by peahens and peacocks- a very strange sighting on an empty Muskoka road. There is a medieval house (can you find the bathtub on the roof, or the tower made in the shape of a head). Scattered across several acres of fields are heads and trees made out of concrete and tower very high. The artist Peter Camani is interested in the concept of permanence, creating art that lasts through time.
The work was very interesting, to see something so large scale, with connecting features, done by one artist. There was no cost involved in visiting, and guests are welcomed to roam around the land. We were not surprised to read on the site that bookings are taken for various holidays; halloween, solstice, fulls moons being very popular ones!

so where exactly IS this Burks Falls? north of you? or close enough for us to meander through on our way to you?
no its on the other side of us, about half an hour away. there really isn't much else in Burk's Falls, but it is absolutely gorgeous in the fall.
Where in Burks Falls ??? How did you just stumble on this... I mean any cruise around Burks Falls ends in deep woods... what road is it???
Very true...there is so little to Burk's Falls. Magnetewan has a great park, beach, and falls we went to see. To get there you can follow the main road from Burk's falls to Magnetewan or you can go down a side road (Midlothian RD), which i took because of the pretty trees, with fingers crossed. The property is on this road. Incredibly we also found what we were looking for also!!
