Sculpture


So you and I go to the local hardware store and we see.....


 galvanised steel pipes







But these two saw art.
Mike Tonkin and Anna Liu designed and erected this unusual sculpture in 2006 at Crown Point near Burnely in East Lancashire, England.

With a height of about 7 1/2 feet it is to represent a tree and so named "The singing tree"  but some feel it is reminiscent of a surreal church organ and especially when the wind blows.....



Amazing

    Wow, that really is amazing. I'd love to stand there and listen to the wind go through it.

    We see truckloads of this pipe traveling the highways all the time. I never occurred to me to want to hijack a load of that pipe until now. Who knew it could turn into such a wonderful sculpture?

    I love people who see potential in ordinary things and make something fantastic out of them.
