This wind sculpture of revolving cubes, sited along the windy city of Wellington's waterfront at Evan's Bay, is attractive to see in the daytime but at night they are illuminated and provide a stunning display if the wind is blowing, and it usually is in Wellington! Not only are they attractively lit but they also move in the wind.
