The Singing Ringing Tree...

by sandinista

.. or more correctly the Tree Panopticon just outside Burnley. This is a tubular steel sculpture that sings, allegedly, it is more of an eerie moaning sound, as the wind off the moors blows through it's pipes.

Interesting! I like the way you have caught this; but is it really an eye-sore?

It makes a fabulous image, sort of natural but with a twist if you know what I mean!

Its an arresting image Jim and that by the moody sky adds a senister touch. I bet that moaning sound scares off the more sensitive fell walkers.

A great capture of a great sculpture. I like the shape of the 'tree' and the nice colours.
