July 4 Quarry (Day 281)
The view from our small balcony at the back of our B&B apartment.
The little stone dog (or wolf?) is guarding the rooftop!
I didn’t get any pictures of our B&B, but it was a great 2 room apartment, bedroom up front with a sitting/dining/kitchen room in back with the balcony, in an older building with a bar/lottery hall on the first floor.
We explored the quarry museum that we passed on the way to our B&B. The museum is closed but the grounds are maintained.
The quarry rises up behind the museum site. It looks like it is still operating, but there was no activity on the cliff face we could see.
Two smaller out-buildings at the museum.
We think these buildings model the use of the stone that is quarried behind them.
The short building shows the construction of the roof that allows the use of the rock slabs as roofing shingles. It has to be stout to carry that weight!
The clouds parted to show us some snow on higher peaks!
