Unlike my friends in other locales, I don't see many stone walls during my wanderings. It seemed good to stop a moment and ponder. The one who placed the first stone instructs us in the virtues of vision, patience, and hard work.
It's interesting to look at a rock wall and discover what, at first, seems to be a bunch of rocks randomly stacked together; only to discover the builder had to hand pick each stone and fit it in with the others to build a structure that would stand. Perhaps this is kind of a picture of what the Master Builder does. I like rock walls.
If you ever make it up to New England I'll be happy to show you a million stone walls. They are a beautiful thing to behold and this is a nice reminder to me to notice them!
Stone walls certainly ARE unusual and elaborate compared to the common "wirus barbus"
ReplyDeleteHe could lay up a pretty nice rock wall too. Probably the greatest architect of all time. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteNice find, Chris! I haven't seen any around my stomping grounds, but saw some in France.
ReplyDeletePeace :)
