It definitely wasn't an issue with your photography skills - all of the art on the courthouse ground is incredibly mundane and literal.

Thanks for the reassurance, AoD. 
Totally literal, but I kind of like that with the “law books”, given the context. The message being blatant was important, in my view. It’s less about art, and all about statement and reinforcement of values. It was the only art in the square that appealed to me though, to your point.

Thought I would give you all a day time and night time shot. Beautiful building IMO.

Think this one just stole the On The Nose Award from the lion lamb thing.

A sculpture of giant law books in front of the court house. Incredible...
Classical art is truly dead.

Great! What happens to the other locations?

Funny to me that they chose to describe the opening as 'imminent' rather than give an actual date.
That said, I will bring this forward for the click-averse:

Province unveils $956-million downtown Toronto courthouse
The new court building will eventually take on all criminal matters from six existing courthouses scattered across the city — a move critics say raises access-to-justice concerns for people living outside the city centre.
