Now...take a couple of steps back, go a little to the right, and you got the perfect shot of ALL three Tikis, and the A-frame between them! :) Why does that not exist? Probably because that ideal position is in the middle of the street, and no one wanted to get hit by a car. But it's doable, I've done it: Wait for a lull in traffic walk out, get the shot, and jump back on the curb. Repeat till you got it. I would say it is pretty certain that the Ku in the back is the same one that Barney is proudly posing with in this photo in my new tome The Art of Tiki:
