Panopticon: The Singing Ringing Tree, overlooking Burnley in the north west of England.
The Singing Ringing Tree is a wind powered sound sculpture resembling a tree set in the landscape of the Pennine mountain range overlooking Burnley, in Lancashire.
Completed in 2006, it is part of the series of four sculptures within the Panopticons arts and regeneration project created by the East Lancashire Environmental Arts Network (ELEAN). The project was set up to erect a series of 21st-century landmarks, or Panopticons (structures providing a comprehensive view), across East Lancashire as symbols of the renaissance of the area.
Designed by architects Mike Tonkin and Anna Liu of Tonkin Liu, the Singing Ringing Tree is a 3 metre tall construction comprising pipes of galvanised steel which harness the energy of the wind to produce a slightly discordant and penetrating choral sound covering a range of several octaves. Some of the pipes are primarily structural and aesthetic elements, while others have been cut across their width enabling the sound. The harmonic and singing qualities of the tree were produced by tuning the pipes according to their length by adding holes to the underside of each.
In 2007, the sculpture won (along with 13 other candidates) the National Award of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) for architectural excellence.

There was interesting cloud and movement in the sky so my intention was to shoot long exposures but I foolishly forgot my filters, doh! So I decided to shoot five bracketed shots and blend them to try to give some drama to the sky. Hopefully I'll return for the L.E's and also maybe try to shoot the other 3 sculptures sometime. ( I did visit the Haslingden Halo after this shot but not sure about the images I have.)
As we should have expected, singing dolls will be in the Lady Gaga line MGA is coming out with this summer :D I wonder which songs they sing? Same site as before

The place around the Singing Fountain in the corner of the square in Ulan Ude is the center of street life in the city. At least in day time.

Another try at using strobes to create a portrait. This is my friend Willeke with her awesome grey dreadlocks! She is great at using crystal singing bowls. You'll be amazed at the sound and vibes coming from these bowls! I was actually wondering if my strobes would not go crazy because of the intense vibrations, but they didn't ;-)
Lighting setup: 4 Yongnuo IV strobes. Two to light the sides, one for the background and one as a main light with an umbrella. See lighting diagram in the comment below.
This is uncropped picture - I was very near, and he was singing :)
Thank you for taking time to comment on my picture and/or adding it as a favorite, I really appreciate it !!
The owner was rubbing slowly around the rim of the bowl with a padded mallet producing the singing sound and the water reacting to the vibrations. I bought one large enough to put over your head and if struck softly with the mallet, the sound is soothing and meditative.
