That picture looks fake. There's no indication of anything supporting
the tubes, and you would expect it to show, either as a shadow against
the brighter sky, or by reflected light from the tubes.


You are mistaken. The first few links at
http://images.google.com/images?hl=e...h+Images&gbv=2
have the details re "Richard Box, artist-in-residence at Bristol University"
setting up 1301 fluorescent tubes in a farmer's field in Bath, England in 2004.
Eg, http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=14259 and
http://deathby1000papercuts.blogspot...-line-art.html
have more pictures and explanations.
