As you walk around this abandoned quarry full of small (and some very large) chunks of stone you occasionally come across a scene like this. Nearly completed peak district millstones which have been left to be slowly reclaimed by the land they originated from. As you go for a close up inspection of them you can see the chisel marks and curves where they have been left incomplete. They give this area a strange ghostly ambiance of by gone times.
Lately I've been really wanting to make some sculptures from natural materials in natural settings so I have been exploring the Peak District looking for places to hide my work.
