The "Singing Ringing Tree" near Burnley, Lancashire, in the North-West of England. This "Panopticon" sculpture is situated about 1300 feet / 396 metres above sea level on the moors at Crown Point, a popular picnic site and viewpoint. It is made of steel tubes, like organ pipes, arranged in a spiral pattern to catch the wind from any direction and produce "strange unearthly music". It is about 15 - 20 feet high (for reference, the person in the photo is 6 feet tall) and it can be seen from many miles away. Photographed with a Sony RX100 compact camera and processed with Nikon Capture NX2 software. The VIDEOS (below) give a good impression of the sounds it can make. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpAhRxqibT0 www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxKWcAPOHU0

The "Panopticon atom", situated on a hill-top above the village of Wycoller in Pendle District, Lancashire, in the North-West of England. This Panopticon is an "arts and regeneration project" of the East Lancashire Environmental Arts Network. It involved the construction of a series of 21st-century landmarks or Panopticons (structures providing a comprehensive view) across East Lancashire, England, as symbols of the renaissance of the area. Four large-scale sculptures were commissioned, designed and constructed over a six year period for the districts of Blackburn, Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale. "The Halo" in Haslingden (Rossendale) was the last sculpture in the series to be erected in 2007". VIDEOS here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrCuBw-3Hns www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTb-kR2BFU8
