Fun Fact

For over two centuries, Ohio has been an important producer of limestone, sand, gravel, slag, and other materials used for construction and to make cement.

Description

These manmade mountains of construction materials glisten and shimmer, while in the distance high intensity light bulbs appear as stars. This magical landscape is ephemeral and purely functional but beautiful nonetheless.
