[Stones] So, is this what some think of our heritage?

Hi Thelma,

Imitation being the sincerest form, I would scarcely term this a mockery - whimsical, perhaps, and entirely apropo to the environment (though I warrant they'll have to keep them locked up - unless festival goers are meant to be able to use them, which would be even better!) - however if that is the artist's intention, so be it... if one cannot mock sacred space (as the tricksters - even among the 'gods' - have always done), then what have we?
