I try not to be pretentious with titles... but this was all I could come up with.

This is a piece of public art right outside the library at the University of Houston. It's absolutely gorgeous at night.

That's really cool!
I would love to go see it!

Is it shining light through the letters? it's hard to tell from the picture.

Yeah, it's a big iron spiral with a really strong light inside. It throws the writing all over the place. There's a tree about 30 feet from it, and you can actually read the writing (backwards, of course) on the leaves!

I've already commented on this picture on another forum, but I have to comment again. I LOVE IT. I'm definitely going to have to get over there and see this.
