Huntsville, Ontario is my kind of place. Their downtown street is lined with mural reproductions of famous artworks by Tom Thomson and Canada’s renown Group of Seven artists. This outdoor trail is aptly called the Group of Seven Outdoor Gallery.
I had so much fun looking for them – luckily enough they were mostly concentrated along Main Street, Minerva to High Street and Caroline Street. The artworks blended well in corners, parking areas, business places and even in real tight areas.
