Peace on Earth

You can all rest easy tonight; I’ve discovered peace on earth!

The first bit of peace is found in Watershed Park, a dense woodland near Redmond with trails for cycling, horse riding, etc. A local cyclist took this ground level photo.

There’s twice as much peace in the back yard of Yates Mill Elementary School, although the larger of the two is a bit faded.

    That one in Buffalo is perfect! Looks like there’s a mini-maze next to it too…

    Not far away from the Buffalo peace sign is a world map Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth

    The second one has a second peace sign just north of it, about 53 yards (49 meters) away

    The first one is in Watershed Park in Kirkland Washington, not Redmond. That’s I-405 immediately east. (Used to live in that neighborhood…)
