Artistic slate work is man made beauty.  The countless hours that go into creating art is often overlooked.  Work is created for aesthetic purposes as well as an outlet for creativity.  The pictures were found through Hans Peter Koennecke and Schieferornamente.  I applaud their effort of documenting slate work from around the world.
