Four pavilions including a giant seashell and a colourful archway have opened in Toronto as part of the coronavirus-delayed annual Winter Stations event.
Opening late due to delays caused by a coronavirus lockdown, the Winter Stations have been built in the city rather than the usual spot of Woodbine Beach on Lake Ontario.
Four competition-winning designs have been realised around the theme of Refuge for this year's event.

ARc de Blob is a pink arch decorated with pastel patterns of hearts and sunshine that visitors can walk through and stand underneath
Designed by an Austrian and UK-based team made up of Aleksandra Belitskaja, Ben James and Shaun McCallum, the ARc de Blob comes with an augmented reality app so people can also interact with the pavilion digitally. A sunshine pattern was painted on ARc de Blob
UK team Jack and Charlie Leather realised their winning design called From Small Beginnings.
Made from wooden shelves, the pavilion has a recessed bench where visitors can sit and take shelter. The shelves are full of tree saplings, which people are invited to take away with them to plant.

These three installations have been built in the Distillery Historic District, a pedestrianised arts and entertainment district built in an old 19th-century whisky distillery.
The fourth, called Throbber, is located on 33 Parliament Street just south of the district.
