"Blowhole" by Duncan Stemler, Melbourne, Australia

One of 30 massive pieces commissioned for the new Docklands development, “Blowhole” uses Melbourne’s prevailing winds to spin more than 50 colorful bars.  I’m not recommending Hampton Roads even try to compete with a dense, arts-minded city of 3.9 million people. But the lesson remains the same: Dream big.
