Wow. Very impressive sculture, completely at odds with its surrounds which only serves to heighten its impact. Good take.

@Stu: Ha ha! Thanks Stu. They DO look seventies sci-fi ...
Nicely taken, the contrast between the other-worldliness of the structure and its surrounds is great.

@Chris Sullivan: Thanks Chris. Over the years I've taken many photos of this piece but this is my fav - better position for the perspective, and the brilliance of the heat radiating from the metal.
