Sculpture label.jpg (96560 bytes)

A most unusual work of art being fashioned by the sun, wind and rain.

The wind causes a chisel to chip away at the marble cylinder. The cylinder is made to rotate each time heat from the sun causes a long black metal rod to expand. And finally the cylinder is raised and lowered by the changing water level of the lake.

The end result will be a unique natural sculpture!
