Imagine Peace Tower
Imagine Peace Tower breaks the stereotype that towers and monuments must be tall, granite, iron, rough and large. Indeed, in most countries of the world they are exactly like this. If a monument is made in some other way, from paper or wood, then it is usually called an installation. The most amazing cities now surprise their guests not only with unusual futuristic installations, but also with “space” monuments. One of these unusual attractions is located in the city of Reykjavik. The monument is the creation of Yoko Ono, the widow of the well-known Beatles legend, John Lennon.
History of appearance
The tower is called "Imagine Peace" and symbolizes the song "Imagine" performed by John Lennon. She tells of a flawless world in which hunger, poverty, heaven and hell have disappeared, they do not exist there. "Imagine Peace" belongs to the list of those monuments that in such a touching form demonstrate the manifestation of love to the main person in life.
Imagine Peace Tower is a true work of art that conveys a very deep message to the world. People come from different countries to see this monument. Among them are Beatles fans and ordinary people who are also concerned about the fate of our Earth. The grand opening of the sculpture in the form of a tower was on October 9, 2007. This date coincides with the anniversary of John Lennon's birth. It took exactly one year to complete the “Imagine Peace” tower.
A miracle in the world of sculptures
The amazing woman Yoko Ono came up with the “beacon of peace.” This is what the Imagine World Tower is all about. In society it is called the wishing well. Bright rays of light shoot upward from it. This action occurs several times (a couple of days) a year. The rays form a tower that seems ephemeral, unreal, but impeccably beautiful. The six lanterns that produce light are powered by geothermal energy. They reach out to the skies and pierce them 4 kilometers upward. Without exaggeration, these rays are simply gigantic.
Imagine Peace Tower is only turned on in the evening. Right after the sun goes down into the night, the city captures your attention in one place. The action lasts until midnight, and there are several days a year when the rays do not turn off throughout the night ─ these are January 1 and October 9, the birthdays of Yoko and John.
