Mountain of Gravel (DIY)

In month of October 2020 one of our neighbors did some home maintenance work. Because of that work they brought a lot of sand and gravel beside other things required for their work. Truck loads of sand and gravel were offloaded on an empty plot beside our home.

.

One evening while I and my niece were walking on road in front of our home, my niece took some interest on above mentioned mountains made of sand and gravel. She wanted to climb on one of them. First I refused to allow her to do that but as she kept on insisting I said OK to her. But first I tried to climb myself to show her how to climb on mountain made of gravels. As I tried to climb up on the mountain made from gravels I noticed that my feet were sinking inside it. I succeeded in reaching to the top and then climbed down. After that I pressed gravel by my feet to make them firm in their place, so that feet stay firm over them and did not sink into them. This pressing of gravels by my feet also made a small path from bottom to top of mountain. After making sure that everything was according to what I wanted, I allowed my niece to climb on the mountain made of gravels.

.

My niece enjoyed the experience of climbing on the gravel mountain and then stayed at it's top for some time and then walked down. She had some problem of balancing at start but once she got used to the situation enjoyed it very much. She repeated the act of climbing and then coming down many times.

.

But as work in our neighbor’s home took pace these mountains started to shrink and change shape. At the same time path made by me also got destroyed or vanished completely. This made my niece a little sad as she had started to walk on gravel made mountain whenever she got the opportunity. For keeping my niece happy I kept re-making walking path on gravel made mountain as and when required. Every time path was having different shape as mountain was also changing it's shape and size.

Following are photos of the gravel mountain I discussed above, in it's different stages. I took these photos with my mobile nokia c1-01.

Now, in November 2020, our neighbor’s work is almost finished and very little of gravel mountain is left and we are also no longer using it for our game as well. Maybe we lost interest in this gravel made mountain because not enough of gravel is left for making any interesting paths on it.
