bollard |ˈbälərd| noun 1 a short, thick post on the deck of a ship or on a wharf, to which a ship's rope may be secured. 2 Brit. a short post used to divert traffic from an area or road.
Not just art, Katherine; if I were hungry I could have eaten it (as mercifully it wasn't covered in the kind of salt-laden crap with which junk food shops serve baked potatoes here).
Robyn, what's disgusting about the humble potato? It's about the best thing America ever gave to Europe.
For what a bollard is, please see Vanda's excellent definition.
I too learned something today, Vanda: I learned that I can confuse Americans by judicious use of the word "bollard".

Great that you noticed this "lowly" spud flowering at the top of its stem. Even the pavers in the background lend a balance to the composition.
The trickiest part was leaning over so my feet weren't in the shot.
With all the rain you've been having, this may soon turn into potato soup....
Eww!
