Singing Ringing Tree

A recent day trip to the Main Headlands revealed an unexpected musical interlude when the wind whistled through the open pipes of a structure built near one of the old forts just north of the Golden Gate bridge. I Googled it when I got home, but couldn't find anything. I did however, find evidence of a Wave Organ built on a jetty east of the bridge – I'll have to check that out. I also found the Singing Ringing Tree in northern England and this video of the haunting sounds it makes.

  1. Hi Amy

    This is gorgeous. I’ve never seen this sculpture, and I’ll make a detour to see the singing ringing tree next time I’m headed over the Pennines. It looks wonderful.

  2. The Wave Organ was one of our secret haunts years ago. I think they built it around 1985.
