Sculptor Stan Dolega and his crew installed "Wind Code" outside the Southeast Wyoming Welcome Center on July 17, 2012.

"The sculpture was commissioned through the Wyoming Art in Public Buildings Program. It will be dedicated as part of the new facility later this summer."

Interestingly, the article - albeit a brief one - doesn't bother to give the meaning of the sculpture's name. What is "Wind Code?"

The website WYO Lifestyle (http://www.wyolifestyle.com/blog/?p=2306)provides the explanation:

WIND CODE was created in this manner to accompany the new Southeast Wyoming Welcome Center. Inspirational sources for this artwork include the architecture and purposes of the Welcome Center itself, the ever-present snow fencing along the highways, and especially the space and natural environment comprising the State of Wyoming. WIND CODE was designed to work with and react to the environment and the elements. The sculpture will continually evolve and change. Its patina will age, the wind will flow through the slats, the sun will cast ever-changing patterns and the ice and snow will cover and melt in surprising ways.

Here's a panorama I took with my Samsung Galaxy SIII:
