Looks like airport metal detectors for very tall people.

How can that cost £45,000? Oh, the government built it. Half of that money is in some politician’s pocket. Of the rest, half was spent on something else. Of the rest, half was taxed. Of the rest, half was mysteriously lost.

It’s just that, most the benches are too tall... that’s it.

[Pravious]

Gotta wonder who blanked who to get THAT gig.

Yes. Of course it’s ugly. It’s REALLY ugly. The only area it would fit would be a construction site.

They could sell it to San Francisco after renaming it “Corn Hole Henge”.

These are benches designed to prevent homeless people from sleeping on them.

Looks like something a giant toddler would make with his blocks

It must have been that Trump baby!

When local governments try to do art they almost invariably botch the job. Probably because they hire someone’s ne’er do well brother in law to do the deed.

Has a decidedly Soviet Union feel about it.

[HChampagne]

It belongs in Soviet era East Germany.

Knock them over and use them as grocery cart corrals.

Might be useful to make 4 swing sets for the kids. Would need a bit of padding on the uprights.

[Hot Tabasco]

It's a mile from my house and I pass that damn thing every single day!!! And knowing what it is I still say WTF?

[Hot Tabasco]

As a follow up, this is the first I heard that it was called the “Halo”.....I thought it was something else.

[certrtwngnut]

You read my mind with your post.

Can be easily converted to gallows and or guillotines
