Fake stones would be a pretense, surely?




I never said that the concrete posts were trying to be fake stones..but I think personally in this instant I would prefer to see the "fake" pretense stones than concrete posts..but each to there own ;)


If in the distant past stones got damaged during their 'useful' lifetime, I wonder if when they were replaced they were then considered fake or simply 'replacements'? Unless each stone was selected because of its shape/colour/size/whatever then it was just a stone and would mean the same then as it would now, just newer...although still over a million years old!
