"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
-Hamlet, Act One, Scene Five
This above all: to thine ownself be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” - (again with the Hamlet)
This is an unfinished obelisk. A great deal of work was done on it a long time ago.
It was left in the quarry after a flaw was discovered.
It's rose granite, and even incomplete it is magnificent.
That is wonderful. I like how the currant safety branch of the gov't has painted the chains and posts so they are not a glaring intrusion on the scene.

That's amazing.
What a disappointment it must have been when they realized it was flawed.
Wow.. that's quite the piece. You must spend so much of your travels in awe.
Laurita, it is and I am.
Bag Lady, it happened twice. The first flaw they got shed of, but there was no working away the second one.
Hilary, there comes a point where I wonder if I can process anything else.
That's incredible. Your traveling wonders never cease.
Interesting facts.
Dawn, I hope they never do.
Amazing how even their least work they did with such quality. No wonder it still draws us today.
They were perfectionists, Messymimi.

Reb, they're smart enough not to ruin the ruins.
Very glad you got to see that. Very glad I did not work there.

Thank you, Mary Anne.
I don't think I'd want to work there, either.
