through a window

I was watching the movement of a kinetic sculpture in the Museum of Science in Boston when I looked beyond it to take in the winter scene outside of the window. Trees and the window frames highlight ice floating in the river.

It wears the look of a painting.

The sculpture is titled "River Loom"; it was created by Reuben Heyday Margolin. If you're interested in more information you can click to the artist's page here. A video showing the movement of the sculpture is available here.
