[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This deceptively simple "length of pipe, red light bulb, and fishbowl" is not as simple as it seems. It is one of Len Lyes kinetic art sculptures. Standing 45 metres tall, with a constantly lit red light, it stands on the walkway at the New Plymouth shore. When originally designed bu Len Lye the engineering technology was not available to build it. Its a love it or hate it icon of the ares. Watching people watch the windwand is almost as good as watching it move about in either a light breeze, or sometimes bending almost horizontal in a "howling gale".

Very abstract point of view which makes it a very interesting photo. However, if possible, u should include a person or an object in order to give it a sense of it's size....

Overall great photo
