These telephone poles and a stonewall look like the run off forever, but of course it's a bit of an illusion. This scene certainly would provide a good subject for an assignment on perspective, wouldn't it? This wall is not thrown together hastily either. It is elaborately constructed and runs on both sides of the road towards a family apple orchard. The other morning, facing the sun, I sat about mid-wall here and was just enjoying the warm sun on my face."Something there is that doesn't love a wall". I remember Frost leading off his MENDING WALL with this line. Could there really be such a person or thing that could detest this rugged, New England icon? I hope not.
Mt. Fuji. Mme la Vache took that photo on her last visit to Japan to see her son.
ReplyDeleteThis shot has a nice feel to it. Reminds me of the low stone walls along the roads in Ireland.
ReplyDeleteHow can we New Englanders imagine such a thing? To our eyes a stone wall is a work of great beauty.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think it possible. Not to this extent but we still have some small dry walls in our countryside. They were erected with the stones removed from the field and used as the simplest and cheapest way to mark property boundaries.
ReplyDeleteI do love a stone wall . . .
ReplyDeleteI'm very lucky to have a stone wall right outside my window and I love it.
ReplyDeleteI like how you have captured the illusion of the wall going for miles.
Wishing you a delightful weekend.

My very first thought when I saw this stone wall was Frost's poem! Please come visit me now at my Santa Fe blog:

A wall like this constructed without mortar is what is called a "dry-stone dike" in the British Isles. Very handsome and built by real craftsmen.
ReplyDeleteI love this wall and anything made with nice stones.
