Loved this sculpture. It is very quiet inside.

Spherical sculpture made from stacked and mortered slabs of granite. There is an opening that allows you into the inside where there is a bench that fits 3. You can't see it but there is a round skylight in the ceiling. The sphere is in the woods. It is very peaceful inside.
