Alien Structures?

[Susano]

The Panopticons are a set of four futuristic sculptures set in the rural settings of Blackburn, Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale districts of East Lancashire, England. The powers-that-be commissioned the sculptures as gateway pieces and a symbol of the renaissance of the area.

Whatever the reason, the results are some fantastic works of art:

For some reason that first one you show, "Atom," makes me think of the Teletubbies.
