Ummm very interesting something. Does it just hang there like that ? I guess if it’s dry it’s not raining, if it’s wet it is raining. If it moves it’s windy. If casts a shadow it’s sunny if it shakes it’s an earth quake?
ViajanteI really don't know. Of course really strong cables and bolts in them. Some stones/rocks have visible drill holes in them. Like without a wire going to a cable through them. I am not sure if it is for rain to get through or they drilled them in the wrong place.
ViajanteGood question Stephen, I was up there a few weeks ago and we all wondered what it represents and now you’ve reminded me to look it up. Quite interesting actually - about climate change and it can be adjusted according to climate change efforts
Viajante“If little or nothing was being done to combat climate change, a winch-operated bronze collar could be pulled down the column over the cables holding the boulders. That would increase the tension in the cables and force the 30 tonnes of boulders to rise, representing a state of tension between humans and the natural environment. If the collar was raised to the top of the column the boulders would hang freely at the same height, representing equilibrium with nature. Booth said Far North schoolchildren would be tasked once a year with assessing the district's environmental efforts and adjusting the position of the collar accordingly.”
