Gift of the Wind. Leitz Elmarit 90mm

This kinetic sculpture in Porter Square was unveiled in 1985 at around the same time that I was getting to know the different neighborhoods of Boston.  It has been a constant in my peripheral vision for 30 years.  Today is a balmy 54°F spring day and, as I had to be in the vicinity, it seemed like a good subject for a Blip.  The sculpture could use a good lick of paint after all these years but clearly its bearings still work beautifully.  There was a very minimal breeze and yet the vanes were rotating around their axes.  It was a matter of choosing how to line them up for the Blip.  Here's a link to the Wiki article.
