'Light Wands' - Birmingham, England, UK. - Abstract Public Sculptures on Waymarking.com

"The 'Light Wands' take the form of three coloured carbon fibre masts rising up to 30 metres in height. A landmark beacon visible from across the city centre, the light wands act as ‘three graces’ to the Rotunda building." Source: (visit link)

"The Light Wands are art features located in the Bull Ring Centre in Birmingham. The 30m, 25m and 20m high wands animate the square and its surroundings with almost constant wind induced movement emulating the behaviour of trees and plants. The mirror polished stainless steel leaves form a helical pattern when the mast are still and position them-selves onto the leading edge when the masts are swaying.
The Light wands are internally illuminated at their base and tip and a matrix of LED light points. The night time presence of the light wands is further emphasized by LED light illumination of the ‘tramline strips’ of black granite.
