Material: Wood
Trail: Moor Top
Theme: Nature
Form: Abstract
Maps Featured on: 1997 – 2005
Status: Decommissioned, no Pinnacles remain
Sited in Juniper Tarn, close to the car park at Moor Top in the tarn near the car park. 8 large wooden carved wooden spikes of varying heights sticking out of the water. The highest out of the water was 8 feet high. The original title for the work was ‘Sitka Spruce Trunks’, Bill Grant made Kent change the name to something more snappy, the same with Columns. Above is how they looked when new. Over time the colour faded and they became more camouflaged.
Photographs taken 2008
As of 2018 only one (and a half) remained standing. The others having rotted and snapped over time. The tarn they are in is now overgrown and drying up. A contrast to how it looked when they were installed, when the water was clear.
