Looks pretty neat. I just cringe at the further light pollution bleaching any remaining bit of nature's glory.

I'm with you on light pollution generally, we have a state sandpile here which is an absolute horror of unshielded lighting on a once dark skyline, but as far North as they are Swedes really need light in their lives.

I don't know, I'd say the design was fairly pedestrian...

The Smithsonian has a stainless steel, methinks, tree outside in one of the gardens. It is very cool in a weird sort of way. I'm into more natural stuff, but this drew me in makes me think of the trees above.
