On the rim of the off-limits zone

The nearby park is full of pine trees, with some better looking than others. You can tell which ones are the most impressive because you will find these short stone pillars circling them. Initially, the park authorities must have planned to connect the post with metal chains. Metal loops sticking out like ears from each pillar indicate this. But they've decided that it wasn’t necessary.

One day, I was admiring one of these trees and contemplating over this noble act of trust. Out of nowhere came this man on a bicycle. He parked his bike alongside one of the pillars, and he started stretching. He arched his upper body in and out of the sacred zone. How thrilling it was to witness.
