impaled chair

After the Abandoned Chairs of Highland Park (there are a few to be found around here, although mattresses and broken down desk units seem to be more common), the Impaled Chairs of Silver Lake.  There's a whole fence full of them that we sometimes pass on our walks - not large chairs - six or eight inches across, let's say - and painted in patterns and colors that one rarely sees in an average furniture showroom.  Their precise meaning and function (if, of course, any, beyond artistic entertainment and pure dysfunctionality) is happily impossible to guess.
