Singing Ringing Tree, Burnley
 

I've stayed off here for a few weeks and I suspect I'm going to regret posting this but thought you might like to know that Burnley's Panopticon has been built.

Just off the A682 at Crown Point, Burnley.

For another view of it someone has posted it onto You Tube already.

It is the most spooky sound ever, I'll agree! You can't hear it until you get about 30ft away from it. It uses the wind to make the noise and so as you're walking down the path all you can hear is the wind (it's on top of a hill) then as you're walking towards it these noises start coming out of the wind.

I think it is the most beautiful of the sculptures in the series.

The money, as I have said many times, comes from NWDA and not a penny of it from the Council. Private money has also been put into this by the Towneley family and some trusts, who's land it is on.
