Art construction

Driving on Rt. 20 to my parent's house, I passed a vacant lot where a crew is building the foundation to a new house. What caught my eye is a series of impromptu decorations on the outskirts of the site. As if they couldn't help themselves, the men stacked the boulders they unearthed in the process of digging the foundation.
These stones are massive, and the largest definitely required heavy machinery to lift and position. Yet the workers still took the time to arrange the stones, presumably for the pure pleasure of doing so.

I think all of us have the capacity to be artists. It's the inexplicable urge to create that connects us.
 This is some cheesy stuff. Oh well.
