The following are two scenes that caught my eye as I drove--the first because it is what it is, a chimney and fireplace that have survived when the house around them has disappeared.
The second one interested me because of the geometric shapes.

Were they thinking that people would see these things and think of them, or were they telling the cow to hang on--they'd milk her when they finished this row?
