Donner Pass Road - Truckee, California
Raised Planter
 

      
Like most fixtures
      in the Truckee project, this planter is raised above the paver
      surface on a concrete curb that serves as a stop for snow-removal
      equipment (note a stone post footing in the background uses a
      similar design). The wrought iron rail is reminicent of those
      found in Victorian cemetary plots around the mountain West, but
      in this case allows Truckee to grow fragile perennials (below)
      that might not otherwise survive the heavy summer foot traffic.
