This sculpture however is at the entrance and can be seen from the promenade that runs next to the pools.
The sculpture consists of a number of cones standing on a large tree trunk. The cones have replaced the top of the tree and catch the wind causing them to rotate. The cones are different sizes and as they rotate some of them touch each other producing a tinkling sound.
