The Watchful Eye is a bronze sculpture located in the Canadian city of Ottawa. It was created by artist David Clendining and installed in 1992. The statue is a representation of an owl, with its wings spread and its eyes wide open. It stands atop a tall stone pedestal in the middle of a fountain.
The sculpture was commissioned by the City of Ottawa to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the city's fire department. The owl is a symbol of wisdom and vigilance, qualities that are highly valued in firefighting. The statue is also a tribute to the firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
The Watchful Eye has become a popular landmark in Ottawa, and is a frequent subject of photographs and postcards. The fountain around the statue is also a popular spot for tourists and locals to relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. The statue serves as a reminder of the important role that firefighters play in protecting the community, and honors those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to others.
