VT Cairns

Stacking stones is part of our common heritage, and people to this day seem to get a kick out of taming rock.

In Vermont last week, I came across several formations by the river.  Hurricane Irene gifted the banks with a large assortment of quarried marble, from which people had fashioned a fire pit, thrones and miscellaneous collections.  I added to it some of my own pieces as well.  Later that day, my mother and I saw this simply built bench at a local nursery, which looked very similar to those down by the river.
