Silhouettes at the quarry


On a recent walk in the Forest of Dean we went to look at a large, working quarry. Like all such places it was fascinating. It was a massive and deep undertaking that appeared to be supplying stone for a variety of purposes. At a number of locations were piles of rock that had been assembled by type: principally size, but also, it seemed, colour. The quarry was at the highest point of that area of the Forest and the very highest summit was a heap of relatively small stones. A couple of other walkers and their dog were using the heap as a viewpoint. We decided to do the same and as we approached I took this silhouette shot of them as they surveyed the distant horizon.
