Dry Stone Rider ...
Called "Le Monument" this artistic dry stone wall sculpture was created by Gordon Simpson, Master Dry Stone Waller. It was erected in 2014 and unveiled by Brian Robinson to commemorate the Tour de France, which passed the spot between Ripley and Harrogate where this piece of public art can now be admired.
The shot was taken by me a few days ago for this week's Sunday Challenge, for which the theme was sport or anything to do with sport.
You'll find a shot of the overall sculpture in the Notes and you can learn more about the man responsible for creating "Le Monument" by visiting the site below:

Or, check out this short little video on YouTube:

Oh, and if you're wondering, as I was, who Brian Robinson is. Well it turns out that he was the first ever Briton to finish the Tour de France and the first to win a stage in the race way back in in the 1950s.
