At the quarry

Three photographs of the place this stone comes out of: the cutting floor, the face with its beds marked up, and the valley above it.

A row of roughly six squared stone blocks standing in the sand at the foot of a quarry, each one cut flat and marked with a red number on its face. Behind them the quarry is cut into benches up the hillside, and wind turbines stand on the ridge above under a blue sky.
Blocks on the cutting floor The cutting floor at the foot of the quarry: a row of sawn blocks standing on the sand, each one squared off and numbered on its face, with the benches of the quarry cut into the hillside behind them and wind turbines on the ridge above.
A quarry face with the beds marked up by hand in coloured paint. Reading from the top the marks say: 1 white vein, 2 elegant black, 3 grey wood grain, 4 coffee, 5 elegant black, 6 elegant black, 7 black and white, with the red outline around the overburden at the top of the face. Coffee Wood Marble is the fourth bed down.
The beds, marked in the field The face of the quarry with the beds marked in the field. From the top: 1 white vein, 2 elegant black, 3 grey wood grain, 4 coffee — this stone — 5 elegant black, 6 elegant black, 7 black and white. The red outline marks the overburden, the layer of rock that comes off before the bed below it is reached.

The red outline on the upper part of the face marks the overburden — the layer of rock that has to come off before the bed below it can be reached.
A wide mountain valley seen from high on the slope. Two cableway towers carry a cable across the ridge, a narrow road zig-zags down the mountainside in long bends, and a village lies spread along the valley floor. Bare branches cross the foreground.
The valley and the haulage road The valley above the quarry: a cableway crossing from one side of the ridge to the other, a haulage road zig-zagging down the slope, and the village spread along the valley floor below.
