Stones can look unsightly


The huge piles of gabion stones in this picture are piled this way to create a stone barrier between the road and the modern housing estate behind. I'm not sure what the big chunks of stacked armour stone are doing at the base of the tree. Perhaps they are retaining the soil where the roots are growing. I cant help but think that all this stone could have been used a better way.
