The Millennium Mast is a kinetic sculpture honouring the virgin white pine trees that stood on the shore of Lake Ontario and were used for the masts of British Navy Ships. It's sails move with the wind and the entire piece rotates. Linking to My World Tuesday.
That is awesome, Andy! And what a terrific capture for the day! Interesting history as well! Enjoy your week!

What a lovely monument! So unusual.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. White mast is soaring high up into the blue sky! I love the idea its sails move with wind. This is the fresh breeze for the day. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day! (^^)
ReplyDeleteThat would have been fun to watch on a windy day (like last Thursday!)
ReplyDeleteIs this at Frenchman's wharf? Near the Port restaurant? I think I've seen this before... but didn't know what it was!
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique idea for a sculpture. It would be interesting to watch all the different parts moving simultaneously. Thanks for sharing your part of the world. :)
ReplyDeleteGood memory Halcyon.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather have the trees themselves, Andy, but it's a fine-looking piece of art.

What an unusual piece of sculpture. The fact that when the sails blow it turns is fascinating. I would love to see it in person.
ReplyDeletekinetic sculptures are neat. this is a fine example. I will check it out when I pass through (sometime next month, I hope).
