This one is all yours

Nothing sharp, nothing hot, nowhere far. Tell someone what you're up to, then go ahead and do it on your own.

Why it's like that

Art made outdoors and left there is a real thing artists do. It's called land art, and the point is that it doesn't last: the wind or the rain finishes it for you. Take a photo, then let it go.
