Allstate Ad, 2015 - I'm the tree that falls on your car, and yes, I made a sound. Mayhem. Is Everywhere. Allstate.

Classic 30s era radio modded into an 8 track!

Maybe it's more of a collectors item? Wynford Hall AM FM Stereo 8 Track modded into the case of a 30s era radio, with stereo speakers in a marblized panel. The modding probably was done in the early 70s, since 8 tracks were gone later on. $95 at Martintown Trading Post,  Martintown, Ontario, June 25, 2017.

Amitabha Buddha by 401

9 metre tall statue of the Amitabha Buddha, bronze and steel, weight 12 tonne.  Association Bouddhique Thuyen-ton. 19558 Airport Rd. Summerstown, ON, erected in 2016. There are many Buddhas in Buddhism, and this is not the same Buddha as the one who was called Siddhārtha Gautama, who was born in what is now Nepal around 400 B.C. and who founded Buddhism. The Amitabha Buddha is thought to have existed in another world, and is prayed to by many followers of the Pure Land   ( 淨土)  form of Buddhism. Calling his name is supposed to allow you to be reborn in his heaven. Can be seen on the south side of the 401 between exits 814 and 804, between Lancaster and Summerstown Station, Ontario.

I think the mudra (hand gesture) means 'healing'.
