TELL-TAIL is a forty foot high solar beacon/weather vane, sited at
the edge of San Francisco Bay, adjacent to a well-used jogging path
and Emeryville mud flats. Near the top of the structure, a funky blue
hand reaches out to seize the horizon in whatever direction the wind
is blowing. Capping the pole, an array of solar collectors turns in
sync with the hand and at night illuminates it. |
