Ceramic Barnacle


Location: Corner of building, Parliament and Mill Streets
Date photo taken: 26 October 2012

This is one of many little ceramic markers affixed to hydro poles, buildings and curbs in an area roughly bounded by Berkeley on the east, Front to the north, the Distillery site to the east and Lakeshore to the south. They come in various colours, although all tend toward natural hues (greens, blues, yellows and browns) and they're usually placed well below eye level. In some cases, they're on the ground - affixed to the back corners of the concrete pads that benches sit on in parks. I have no idea who made them, when they were placed around and what, if anything, they're intended to signify. If anyone knows, please leave a comment!
