Opus 40

Opus 40, is a sculpture rising out of an abandoned bluestone quarry covering more than six acres. It is made of hundreds of thousands of tons of finely fitted bluestone, constructed stone by stone over a period of 37 years. Igt is all the work of one man: sculptor Harvey Fite. The gate leading into the property was made with heavy chains that are used on tires in snow...it was a little intimidating pulling into the property....we couldn't tell if it was open or not. There were no other vehicles there and when we got down to the building it was Closed....so we took a quick photo of the sculpture and got out of there.
