This stone carving speaks volumes to me, but I wonder what it says to you?
Any takers?

@MichaelJDeLuca Throwing away! Gasp! 😉
Glad you are reclaiming the material. As a life-long, now 70, #StoneMason currently living in a #landscape with zero rocks, your discarded "urbanite" would be VERY welcome here. I got spoiled living in Bloomington IN where I had access to multi-tonnages of precut limestone cheap, 2 cents a pound (sigh). From my files, these two 'urbanite' examples.
PS In a closed system like a planet there is no 'away'.
