#DryStoneWall

2025-11-13
The dry stone wall is located in a remote area that I can only reach with a wheelbarrow. For the heavy stones, I needed some help from my brother to brake/hold the wheelbarrow and to lift/align the stones.
The pile of stones is full of life. I leave them alone most of the time. I’ve seen grass frogs inside the wall joints several times.

A little detour to our field/meadow. I started to built this remote dry stone wall or pile (whatever you call it) like five years ago, and added and aligned some stones over the last years.
It has become a habitat, and shrubs have settled above the wall in recent years. But I haven't finished it yet. I need to gather the right stones for that.

#Wales is full of #ferns! 🤩 I rarely see them at home, so this has been really special. There are countless #fern species growing everywhere here, and the bracken landscapes are just lovely. Even this #tree here in #Bangor seems to be cheering them on, whoooo! 🙌

A close-up photograph of a rustic stone wall, topped with vibrant green ferns and moss. The wall runs alongside a pavement, where the trunk of a mature tree curves into the frame from the left. The pavement is scattered with autumnal leaves, adding a seasonal touch to the scene. In the background, a path stretches into the distance, bordered by more trees displaying a mix of green and golden foliage. The image captures the serene atmosphere of an autumnal park or countryside lane, focusing on the natural textures and colours of the season.

This is the photo I posted the other day of the wall around the corner.

Of course there is a lizard sunning itself on this lovely wall.

How about a blob of blue glass in the wall? Why not?

This wall keeps giving surprises.

A wall with lots of volcanic rocks and in the middle is a blob of clear blue glass. On the top layer is a row of uneven decorative rocks

Today in Camperdown we wandered past the house with a dry stone wall that has pipes sticking out of it. It is on a corner. We turned the corner and discovered that this part of the wall has reddish-brown solid lasts from shoe making in it. Now that wall is built by someone with great wall building skills and a delightful eccentric, creative streak.

#CamperdownVic #WesternDistrict #DrystoneWall

Wall made if volcanic stones at the bottom, then three rows of what might be bluestone above and then tipped by uneven, decorative volcanic rocks. Some reddish-brown fairly slender solid shapes are interspersed in the bluestone layer

The stump of an old ash tree, felled some years ago, is adorned by large plates of bracket fungus which will be aiding the slow decomposition of the wood. Below the fungus you can see a row of coping stones from the dry stone wall in the foreground. These stones, newly revealed, were once completely enclosed by the tree as it grew.
The location is Sheffield UK.

The wall, the bracket fungus and the tree stump are in the foreground. Part of the felled tree is to the right. Other trees can be seen above and behind the stump, sunlight filtering through their leaves.

A white and brown cat is lying stretched out on a sunny stone-paved area, eyes closed in relaxation. Behind the cat, a rustic dry-stone wall borders a garden with green plants and bright flowers in shades of red, pink, and orange. Some greenery peeks through the gaps in the stone wall, adding to the natural charm.
A wooden step stile crosses a dry-stone wall running through open pasture. A lone tree grows along the wall line, its branches shaped by the wind. Beyond, the green field slopes gently toward distant hills under a mostly cloudy sky with occasional patches of blue. Power lines and pylons are visible in the background, hinting at the moorland’s mix of natural and human elements.

Wooden step stile over a dry-stone wall with a lone tree, grassy pasture, and distant hills under a cloudy sky.
Looking back (north) from the track near the bridge over Ogden Brook, a grassy track winds up a gentle slope into a wide moorland valley. The landscape is patterned with rolling green hills, patches of bracken, and heather-brown moor. A dry-stone wall snakes along the slope, leading towards a dark conifer plantation on the opposite hillside. The sky is dramatic, with heavy grey clouds broken by a vivid patch of blue.

Grassy track through rolling moorland hills with dry-stone wall, conifer plantation, and dramatic sky.
A rugged moorland track leads downhill between blooming heather on the left and a dry stone wall on the right, topped with wire fencing. Overhead, electricity pylons and cables stretch into the distance. Beyond the moor, the view opens to a broad green valley with rolling hills under a sky filled with a mix of sunlit and shadowed clouds.

Finished Drystone A Life Rebuilt by @kristiedegaris in one sitting. By turns enraging, inspiring, engrossing and *very* funny, this is an examination of a life through the art and craft of drystone walling.
Such beautiful writing, highly recommended. You can order it through your local bookshop uk.bookshop.org/p/books/drysto

A picture of the book Drystone A Life Rebuilt by Kristie De Garis. The book is white with stones arranged on the front. It is sitting on a small stone wall next to my pond.
A wooden stile and farm gate set in a traditional dry-stone wall mark the boundary between two upland fields near Lower Swineshaw reservoir. Beyond, looking back at rolling moorland stretches towards the rounded hill of Wildbank, visible under a bright summer sky scattered with cumulus clouds. The foreground shows uneven stone steps and tufts of grass leading up to the stile.

Three sheep graze and stand alert in a grassy upland pasture beside Lower Swineshaw reservoir. One sheep faces the camera directly, while the others feed with heads lowered. A traditional dry-stone wall runs behind them, with rolling moorland visible in the distance beneath a dramatic sky filled with layered cumulus clouds.

A grassy moorland path descends towards Lower Swineshaw reservoir, bordered by traditional dry-stone walls and wooden gates. The surrounding upland scenery features rolling green pasture, patches of brown heather moorland, and scattered pylons stretching across the horizon. The reservoir lies nestled in a shallow valley, with the higher Pennine hills and Saddleworth Moor forming the distant backdrop under a sky of bright blue and scattered cumulus clouds.

Our rural garden. The pole #beans seem to be thriving, so I have added a hazelnut stick as a second climbing aid. Out of greed (not the destructive kind), I chose an extra-long stick. Let's see how much taller they grow.

#beautiful #nature #garden #drystonewall #trees #flowers #vegtables #biodiversity
A lush terraced garden is built on a gentle slope with a central stone stairway made of dry-stacked natural rocks. The garden is filled with a variety of vibrant, healthy plants. In the foreground, rows of leafy green vegetables such as lettuce and Swiss chard grow in rich soil, alongside tall stalks of leeks. Spiral plant supports indicate climbing plants like runner beans and peas. On the left, a dense bush of blackcurrants is visible. Toward the back center, a large mature cherry tree towers above the garden, surrounded by more foliage and flowering plants, including vivid pink blossoms on the right. In the background, a forested hillside rises under a cloudy sky, with a mix of rustic buildings and stacked wood visible at the edge of the garden.
