Fridgehenge Put on Ice

Fridgehenge, the Santa Fe, New Mexico version of Stonehenge which is made out of 100 refrigerators, is being taken down due to safety concerns. The steel circle was created a decade ago by Adam Horowitz.

The Fortean Times blog links to a Flickr page with some lovely, evocative images of Fridgehenge in better days.

I found myself wishing that Horowitz left a fridge powered up. When you opened the door on the solstice you'd find a trilithon hanging down inside it that would neatly frame the fridge light, as a sort of fractal Stonehenge. Maybe have a pound of Land O' Lakes butter on the door?
