A sculpture called Land Buoy Bells was installed as the first of several permanent artworks in Seattle's new waterfront project.
The piece, by Virginia-based sculptor Stephen Vitiello, sits at the end of the fishing dock next to the recently-revamped Pier 62, just north of the Seattle Aquarium.
Land Buoy Bells is a sound sculpture.
When the water is calm, the bells are silent.
But when waves approach, the bells ring an industrial chime.
(industrial chiming) Vitiello says the waterfront inspired the idea of a piece that would be environmentally played and would change with the weather and the tides.
Already it seems to fit right in, joining the symphony of squawking goals, ship horns, city bustle, and Seattle's trademark weather.
