The Simeone Quarry is located just behind the Wrentham Outlets in Wrentham, Massachusetts. The equipment is so complex in a quarry like this with all of the conveyors, machines, ladders and sheds. Crushed Stone Aggregates and Sand/Gravel are generated from a variety of natural deposits – limestone, granite, trap rock, and other durable mineral resources.  Production of these products requires blasting and excavating the broken stone from quarries followed by progressive stages of crushing, screening, washing and blending. The aggregate products range in size from Rip-Rap, where each stone may weigh several tons, to manufactured sand for use in concrete and asphalt products.

This is a sketch from a photo that I snapped on Friday across the street from our summer party at Iggy’s. The small town carnivals are a rite of summer with all of sounds, smells and sights. I think that the Ferris Wheel at this location is the same one I sketched in April in Pawtucket.  Faber-Castell Pit pens with Holbein and Daniel Smith Watercolors in a Stillman & Birn Alpha Sketchbook.

A quick sketch of a stone horse stable in Glouster, Rhode Island. Beautiful stone structure surrounded by stables and pastures. Very picturesque area also known as Apple Valley. Holbein and Mission Watercolors in a Stillman and Birn Sketchbook.
