I thought this was just some sort of stylized sculpture of a Nordic Rune. Turns out it was a bit tricky to find out what this sculpture was, but my friend Brendan was able to track this down. It's called Soltreet, created by Arne Vinje Gunnerud in 1984. In 2011, it was hit by a truck and broken in two. After three years, it was supposed to be repaired, but as of May 2015, it had not.
