Yard Art



I have been poking away at this this summer. I finally managed to finish up the welding on it. We drug it into the front yard on a small skid. It is about 11 feet tall and made from mostly found/donated material. It gets quite a few looks when people pass by.

Later,

A Gismo ??? If it has a flywheel or spins and is made with small parts. I'll take one! If it makes noise, moves, or requires frequent oiling and dusting it's a better deal yet. It's especially right if its shiny and bright; but if it's dirty and dull it wont mater at all...

Wes

That looks like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Somehow it all looks just right with those different size turbines on the tree trunk. Thanks for sharing it with us Wes.  :D :D

Cheers  :beer:
