Re: Now You See Them... by Anonymous on Tuesday, 12 June 2007

I live in Lincoln and followed this story over the few days in which it ran (Including readers letters). Some of the park users who saw the standing stones wrote to the Lincolnshire Echo and remarked at how saddened they were to find that the stones had been removed after only a short time. I don't believe there was a single letter in protest against them. Anyone having visited Lincoln recently will undoubtedly know of the monstrosities that are being erected - residences, commercial buildings and works of art (?!). This feature was one which was both symbolic of the symbiosis of humanity and nature, and representational of the journey humanity has made from its hominid roots. Not only this, in just a few short hours of its existence, it also represented a place of worship and a place for reflection. It provided a small sanctuary for those who sought solace. As a work of art, it was sympathetically emplaced. Removing the stones was a sacrilege act, shame on Lincoln City Council.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
