Grandma used to tell me how the kids in her family gathered cow patties
to use for fuel. They also used buffalo (bison) dung in the days the prairies were open and herds roamed the area. Recycling is a well established survival technique.

I didn't know whether to comment on your typo or not, but Benzinha did it in a lovely way.  She has a great sense of humor.  I can see why you enjoy the art of dung stacking.  It is beautiful.

Greenfields, I laughed at your lovely spelling error in the right place

You wrote, "The smoke that rises from the cow dung cakes is supposedly very good for discouraging incests.........", too cute.

I am fascinated by symmetry and patterns, too. Loved the photos.
