In comparison to this pile of old sewer pipes a wind turbine is the ultimate piece of 'art'.

They already have quite a few wind turbines in Burnley though, they all look the same :D

It is a wind sculpture - it makes a different noise depending on which direction the wind is blowing in and at what strength the wind is blowing at. There is no design flaw or fault in this whatsoever. That is one of the interesting things about it - the wind is meant to affect the sound!

The launch day was the windiest day ever but that does not mean that it was not working correctly. It was working perfectly.

It’s going to terrorise the sheep………..

Willow, there's all sorts down the sea front these days, I see things when I'm driving down the Prom but never think to stop and look at it. :) I love the sea, but I've no time for Blackpool.

Just a link to the East German children's television programme 'The Singing Ringing Tree', from which the title of the sculpture in Burnley is taken.

I was about three when I watched it, and the evil dwarf really freaked me out.:D
