I love old metal objects, the more rusty the better although these weren’t all that rusty.

Although the site it one large sculpture, there are none the less, a number of smaller sculptures scattered around the quarry. Here are a couple of them. I believe that there are quite a few more in the surrounding woods.

We had entered the site from the North West. However, as we were leaving and walking back to the car we had a completely different view. We were now looking West and could see the Catskill Mountains looming up behind the monolith. It was really spectacular!

I was standing high up by the monolith and looked down into the quarry. I noticed this clump of daisies all by itself, surrounded by a mass of bare rock. It was too far away to take a decent picture, so I walked down to get a closer view.

The bug on this flower, was the cherry on the cake.

It’s not all unrelieved bare rocks though. Scattered around the sculpture are small clumps of trees. I suspect that they were not planted by Fite, but rather he built the sculptures around them.
