  1. The original section looks much more appealing.

  2. It makes an interesting contrast, but I guess the repair person wasn't trained in the dry stone technique.

  7. Love the old dry-stone wall, several pieces of it surviving are great, and being continued/supported with the newer version with lots of mortar just points out how beautiful the old was.

  8. I love the stone walls I see in your world, England and Europe. They are few and far between here.

  9. That stone wall shows the obvious Irish talent for building stone walls, and rebuilding them when needed. Stone is often available in great supply,

  20. Dear Bill, you have discovered a great photo motif that raises questions and material for discussion. I also liked the original wall better. But I hope the stones will hold now. Whoever is responsible for the wall, I would recommend going over it again with gray mortar or something similar to artificially age the new part.
    All the best from Austria, Traude
