Totally makes sense AntZ...Funny thing is, I took this in for an enlargement and framing as a gift for a friend a couple of days ago and the framer said she remembered this sculpture because she was on the art committee that approved it! She told me a couple of interesting facts I thought were kind of amusing so figured I'd share:

It used to be further down the street and the whole thing is really a huge wind chime with massive pipes as the chimes. It was initially placed right across the street from a huge and expensive condo unit. The residents complained about the noise and in Calgary it's pretty much always windy so you can imagine the racket it made pretty much 24/7....so it was moved further north on 4th street to a more commercial area and the chimes were tied off... now it doesn't make any more noise!
Still looks kind of neat though.....

That's funny, Casil. Roger and I were by there a couple of weeks ago.

Me: Look at this cool sculpture!

*Roger attempts to rattle the pipes*: What is it?

Me: I think its a wind chime. *Attempts to rattle the chimes to a dull sound* Woah! They did not tune these up very nicely.

Roger: I guess that's why they are tied up.

Me: Yeah. Weird, huh?
