concrete's beauty
Have you ever noticed the concrete curbing at the edge of a street's crosswalk?
At the edge of many concrete sidewalks, the transition to the crosswalk is made safer by grinding down the surface of the sidewalk concrete for a smooth transition onto the surface of the sidewalk. What is revealed in this grinding is the composition of materials that are in concrete, like the aggregate(the stones). Each stone offers geological delight. When wet, the beauty of the colors are enhanced. The public effort to keep the built environment safe also creates a moment for delight (particularly for those who enjoy natural materials).
