6. Solar Peace Sculpture, Moving Exhibit
We love this piece by Fred George, inspired as it is by Gerald Holtom´s 1958 emblem for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, known as the peace sign. According to GreenParenthood, he awareness raising sculpture depicts the peace symbol and focuses on the importance of using sustainable energy by using solar energy. The sculpture stands fifty eight feet tall and is made of eighty recycled metal oil barrels. A solar panel is attached on each of every barrel and the harnessed energy is fed back to the city’s electrical grid. The proceeds from that energy are then donated to charities.

This is beautiful art, but it is shame that it is just art! The whole array looks almost completely shaded and judging by the tall trees and building in the background it will see shade most of the day. It would be even more beautiful if it were functional.
