Walls on the Landman farm in Ontario Canada 1

This Irish style Fidein wall was built by a group of students under the direction of Patrick McAfee. Unusally the smaller rocks are below the larger which are set upright rather than laid flat. This type of wall can last for hundreds of yaears.

Delightful Present

This model house was built by folk in our town. It was a 90th birthday present to a lady who had lived in the original almost all of her life.

The Black House was built several years ago in Canada, on the Landman farm during a  Dry Stone Festival. At the time the main plant was Sedum. Now several species are doing well and these Kids seem to be having a great time.

Building in Croatia

I was delighted to see this photo of a drystone building sent by my friend Boris Cok.  This structure is in Croatia and is a corbelled building very similar to the Trulli found in the South of Italy.

Sometimes the coffee shop calls.
