A seat with a view

Some art is best viewed from the comfort of your seat.

Local artist Adrian Göllner's As the Crow Flies is an undulating installation of tubular steel and fencing best appreciated from a passing train at Bayview station. The 120-metre line drawing suggests the topography of the Gatineau Hills and rooftops of Mechanicsville as it mimics a crow's flightpath.

"It wiggles and warbles and goes up and down as you go in and out of the station," said Göllner, who hopes commuters can pry themselves from their cell phones to gaze instead out the window as their train rolls by.

"Maybe this will get their heads up," Göllner said.
