Photo - Address Boulder and Olive Tree

This job site included a large retaining wall made of boulders.   I decided to use one of the boulders that had a very flat side to create a distinctive address marker.  I then placed a large olive tree behind the boulder and put a nice LED uplight on all the elements.
