Those two guys just set these posts in concrete.
Only thing is, their truck is parked inside....

Kinda like building the sailboat in the basement, ain't it?
 
or building a car in the kitchen!
 
I hate to say it, but I think the workers are real boneheads, or really good Photoshopping. All the posts have slightly different highlights on them and the perspective of the lower right post is correct for the photo (leaning towards the right at the top).
 
No, not for real?
 
Don't think it's a Photoshop job, either. The shading of the concrete around and under the van is too real looking.

Those posts may be removable, though - especially the lower right one. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/angel.gif

But it's a lot more fun to giggle at 'em! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif

My guess is that posts like these would not be embedded in concrete, but would have an anchor with a bracket on top to which the post is bolted. They can probably be unbolted at any time without disturbing the anchor.

But it makes a great "What's wrong with this picture?" regardless.
