Wind Organ and Sonic Sculptures

The afternoon breeze off San Francisco Bay can coax pipe organ-like tones out of a 17-ft tall sculpture. Other kinetic metal sculptures spin or sound off, all installed along pathways atop the old municipal landfill.

Actually several kinetic sculptures all together here. Go up the small road leading to the top of the mound, it almost looks like you're not supposed to use that road. Beautiful up there, especially if the wildflowers are blooming!
