Singing Ringing Tree Panopticon (another angle)

Shaun Whiteman

Singing Ringing Tree Panopticon (another angle)

Taken with a Canon 400D, Sigma 17-70 lens at 19mm, F11 at a shutter speed of 0.25 second.

Constructed from pipes of galvanised steel, it takes the form of a tree bending to the winds and harnesses the energy of those winds to produce a low, tuneful song.

‘Singing Ringing Tree’ is close to the Dunnockshaw Millennium Wood, part of the Forest of Burnley reforestation programme, and links to the Pennine Bridleway and local walking routes. Many native tree and bird species are to be observed.

The site offers a spectacular panorama of East Lancashire: to the north, a wonderful view of Pendle Hill; to the east, a glimpse of the Cliviger wind turbines on the Yorkshire border; and in between, a panoramic overview of the town of Burnley, with the famous Turf Moor football stadium at its centre. On a clear day you can see the Bowland Fells, Pendle, Ingleborough, Pen-y-ghent and Great Whernside.

    HI Irene, thank you very much for the comment!!! It is on a side road off the Burnley to Rawtenstall Road (Manchester Road), the road is Crown Point Road. I have tagged the location on my flickr account; scroll down the commebts until you see additional information then click on the blue text map. The Halo and atom are also excellent!!

    Hey there Shaun, this is absolutely stunning mate, even without the great tree like structure, what a glorious view and the sky is simply gorgeous. An excellent photographic dream shot and an instant FAV for me mate. P.S. I like these works of art springing up all over the UK, soon Kent is to have it’s horse:-)

    Cheers Steve, I have just shuffled a few shots around in my redbubble stream, this shot was taken several months ago when I had only just joined rb….this is one of the Lancashire Panopticons , another is The Atom and we also have
    The Halo , there is a fourth in Blackburn but it is not very good….they are worth a visit if you are down this neck of the woods
