Do not use excessive force to open the cache container. It opens very easily.
This iconic artwork comprises 8 cone shapes and 16 poles placed in a composition where the cones and poles lean at various angles. This dynamic composition expresses the energetic movement of rain hitting the earth. The starting point for the artists was seeing the cone shape as cupped hands reaching up to catch precious rain drops. The poles are abstract representations of water markers found in rivers that are used for recording water levels. The point of each cone lightly touches the earth like a dancer moving in time with the beat of the rain. The open ‘weave’ of the water ripples on the surface of each cone links earth and sky. The cones and poles are made of marine grade aluminium. The cones are painted blue internally and the poles are also partly painted. The cones are lit internally at night with a changing sequence of watery tones – from blue to green. This lighting is powered by solar energy.
Apology: Are you just interested in rushing from cache to cache to mark up the numbers? If so we apologise because this geocache is not for you. We used to fear Muggles but experience has taught us to fear Careless Geocachers more. If you don't have the time to correctly retrieve and replace a geocache then please don't attempt this one. We place geocaches for the enjoyment of the majority but they don't suit everybody. It seems some are content to destroy the geocaches that others go out to enjoy.
