World Around Me

This was taken at about 09:15 this morning, at the entrance to the Children's Hospital at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast. The piece of public art has recently been installed.

RISE is a breathtaking sculpture that has changed Belfast's skyline forever.

The new landmark for Belfast has been built at Broadway Roundabout, one of the main gateways to the city. It is the biggest public art sculpture in Belfast.

At 37.5m high and 30m wide, RISE is three metres taller than the Albert Clock and six times the weight of a double-decker bus!

RISE is located on the southern approach to the city at Broadway and will be visible to the 65,000 people who use the M1 and Westlink daily as well as from the air by over 2.5m passengers who travel in and out of George Best Belfast City Airport every year.

Many pedestrians will walk underneath it on their way to the Park Centre shopping complex or the Royal Victoria Hospital.
