OMG!!! Stoked to see this back!
quote:
It incorporates the Wind Tree sculpture by Japanese artist Michio Ihara which was in QE Squate between 1977 and 2002 -removed during the Britomart rail station development.
one of the funniest things i ever saw was where this used to be situated in Brittomart.
I was walking back to the ferry one night, and there was a group of drunk people. this guy went to do a running jump/belly flop into the water.
ran, jumped (too high), one of the horizontal poles sconed his forehead smack in the middle and knocked himself out.
Made my night!
Well impressed tho with the improvements in the area. looking forward to seeing it when i get back to NZ in a few years time to see how successful it really is (was).
