This street sign along highway 270 west of Lake Hamilton reads "Holistic Hollow." Emerging from the earth right there next to it is this cement sculpture of a hand with all the thumb and fingertips drawn together.

I intended to drive down the road, knock on the door and ask the residents the usual questions about the sculpture, but while I was taking this snapshot I heard a vicious dog barking on the property. I ain't exactly Christiane Amanpour, so I got back in my car and moved along.
