The cathedral square's a bit of a mess at the moment. The construction work to replace the crumbling post-WW2 faux-medieval houses also involves ripping up swathes of cobblestones to lay power cables and suchlike.
Which then have to be reset.
Stone by stone. In big, interlinked, sunburst patterns.
By some poor bugger.
Like him here.
And - having paved the walkways around our place - I know what I'm talking about....
PS Have a look at the tool - trowel and hammer in one. I'm betting that the shape hasn't changed in centuries.
PPS Kath'll like this one...

A basic tool like this never changes it's shape. It's amazing, isn't it?
The grip seems have treated with a new technology...
...by some poor bugger LOL ! Must be painstaking work. Lovely when finished though. Great shot.
Looks like alot of detail work.
Those craftsmen are real artists! We just had our front steps redone, and altho it was a simple job, it required planning and painstaking work. It was fun watching, and we are delighted with the results. I'd like to see the finished product in another photo, please--a request!
It's so pretty to look at, and I've never considered all the work that goes into it. Nice photo.
