Wind Art - Wordless (Almost) Wednesday


Some of you have asked about my new header. The Wind Art is located on the campus of our local community college. While I was there this weekend for the Ducky Derby I grabbed a few photos.


This is a short video of the art in action. While I was filming a gust of wind really picked up the pace. There is also a bird chirping in the background.

Please visit Wordless Wednesday for more fun photos.

What an unusual piece of art. Is it a windchaser like a dream chaser?

I wonder it it will work with cardboard?

came via Jama's site to say hi.

Those are beautiful whirligigs, Judy. I enjoyed the chirping birds and the spinning colors in your delightful video.

I saw something like these at the Seattle Flower Show in February, and they were indeed made of recycled objects. Wonderful whimsy, too!

I was wondering about that myself. I love the look of this piece. I love all kinds of wind "art"...windchimes, windmills, whirlygigs, etc. Remember the wind sculpture in the movie "Twister"? I would love to have something like that.

I'm so glad you finally did a post on this and showed us!! I love it, and the video is great!! If they sold these things, I'd be the first in line!

Very eclectic and fun. I love it.

I love funky yard art!!! That looks so cool.
I keep trying to talk hubby into purchasing some interesting yard art ---may take some persuasion, as he a little bit country
and I'm a little bit funky
(hmmm, that sounds a little like Donny and Marie eh)

Self Sagacity said...

The twirling is making me dizzy! LOL. I can't believe how I can't even sit on the spinner with my daughter anymore as I get so sick and feel like I am going to pass-out. On the other note, the art is quite special.

Hen Jen said...

wow, beautiful art, I love the colors!

I have to say that I really like the name of your blog, too.

happy WW!

Welcome along on the "Mitford" trip SQ. I shall be checking your blog for photography tips as you have some pretty amazing photographs. At present, I am an "accidental" photographer.

Best,
Bonnie

Thanks Judy for telling us what that gorgeous Wind Art is. I loved seeing the video. As much as I love windchimes, don't you think one of these art projects would look nice in my yard??????

Hugs,
Betsy
