My World - Millennium Mast

Andy | Monday, May 02, 2011 | Best Blogger Tips

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.

  3. Beautiful 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! (^^)

  5. Is this at Frenchman's wharf? Near the Port restaurant? I think I've seen this before... but didn't know what it was!

  6. What 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. :)

  7. I'd rather have the trees themselves, Andy, but it's a fine-looking piece of art.

  8. 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.
