Peace Posts - ready for installation

I did get to finish the 5 Peace Posts over the weekend including attaching the feet that will be driven into the ground to support them.

Below are a few photos of the completed posts taken by Fiona and myself. They were taken in a couple of settings to give and idea how they would look as a group - though the plan is to install them as way posts along a short walk.

This has been an interesting commission; and I have enjoyed it. I'm now planning to do two sets of three posts - one for our block and one for sale.

    They look great, showed this to John who said he recognized the view. Not sure if we will get to Qld this year, sad but too many things going on, unless I can wrangle a birthday visit in early October.

    Hi JM, P, C & J - it looks like these posts might just have hit the mark given the comments - which are appreciated. P - hope you can make it up and check out that view and a few other changes we have made to the block. Peace. B

      Hi MJ - these did work out well and today (Friday 14/8) Fiona and I delivered them and installed them in the garden of the woman who commissioned them. Need to go back and tidy up - ran out of light. I think you are right - as a group these Peace Posts are up there. Go well. B
