The sign says: Please do not touch the rocks, they are balanced. Uh, yah. In a pile on the ground. :p

The pile under the tarp is the remains of the wide high round base pictured above.

Last ones. Must be cold outside, the last one's wearing a scarf!

Those are neat, but I don't approve of them being located where they are, right next to a sidewalk. What happens when a curious tottler walks up to one just as the parent looks down to see the sign? Toddler pushes on a lower rock, parent just starts to yell "No!" as a 35 pound rock falls down onto the top of the kid's noggin, causing brain damage for the rest of her life. Not good.

Agreed, not a good idea in public space.

I bet the City government has regulations opposing these "works".

Savannah, Ga. made me take a prank sign down out of my own yard one time. Their problem: It was distracting to motorists. Imagine a pile of rocks..... kids....pets...
@BigV.......were they roped off or isolated in any way?
Just wondering.
