Hanging Stones.

Found via Present & Correct, Hanging Stones is an ongoing project by Andy Goldsworthy in the North York Moors, commissioned by the Ross Foundation. Nine existing buildings (plus one new building) that were in varying states of disrepair have been rebuilt as artworks and connected by a six-mile walk encompassing Northdale, near Rosedale Abbey. Conceived by Goldsworthy as a single artwork – the walk between each building is as much a part of the artwork as the buildings themselves.
