 This stone wheel is about six feet across and was probably carved at least a century or two ago. I assume it's a millstone because it's lying next to Mill Pond in Belmont, MA.

The original photo included some of the background for scale, but I went with the more abstract look of the tight crop. This is possibly the most increase in contrast I've ever done to a photo, it'll be interesting to see how it fares!

Harsh tones and texture, and perfect. Difficult to understand the scale. I've not seen anything like it.
