inspiration For decades, a massive rock that rises almost 40 feet out of the Pacific Ocean off Sunset Cliffs in San Diego has been the site of occasional, anonymous guerilla art installations.
When the previous installation—a marvelous Pterodactyl, poised for attack—was destroyed in the winter storms of 2006, a small group of long-time Ocean Beach residents decided to erect a new artwork, one that evoked the magnificence of the setting, and that inspired a positive reflection for Peace on Earth.
the first peace rock No political statement was intended by the design. Rather, the Peace sign is intended to inspire a continual contemplation on tolerance and harmony, and on the desire of all people and all nations for an end to violence, and a freedom from conflict or disagreement.
a time to spread peace A second Peace Rocks installation went up Easter weekend in Santa Cruz, California, and a third site is under consideration for Maine or Massachusettes, to take our project coast-to-coast.
With your help, Peace Rocks will continue to place sculptures throughout the country. Join the movement. Peace Rocks!

*Okay, so if you happen to own the rights to "Imagine"—Yoko, M.J., Paul, whoever—and it really bugs you that we're using your song for this pacifist, non-profit purpose, we're really sorry. It just seemed like the perfect inspiration for this opening video. Drop us an e-mail and we'll pick some other song. Peace!
