More of The Singing Ringing Tree

...and a wide angle shot brings out the structure...

On Crown Point overlooking Burnley is this magnificent sculpture/art work. The pipes are tuned so that it constantly hums with volume and tone according to the force and direction of the wind.

This is one of four "Panopticons" in the East Lancs area.
The Singing Ringing Tree is by Tonkin Liu, Designer Anna Liu
