In south of France, we have along tradition of such stone walls. As they were built without cement , we used to call them "dry walls".

Magnificent pieces, are they a wink of Eternity?

Just like a rugged coast.

I love real stone, and what a great idea on how to use it creatively. Have a nice weekend Brattcats!

How unique! I've never seen anything like it.

That one pile of stones looks positively dangerous. Wouldn't even need a guard dog. Yikes!

I've seen walls like this here too, like Malyss we call them dry walls, beautifully shown details Brattcat.

Very rugged looking.

What an interesting way to use the stone. Only your eye would find this composition. Lovely.

Art mostly is not found in museums.

I had to click that one for a better view. The geometry and engineering is amazing and it's done on the fly. What's the spherical thing on the lower right? Looks like a light bulb got stuck in there.

This is beautiful! Stone walls are very common here, but those made of vulcanic rock to shelter the vines in the Azores Islands are the most famous and have even been classified by UNESCO.

How I love stone walls - and to wonder who placed each stone - and to marvel at the artistry. xx

Love this. Each piece looks as if it belongs exactly where it is.
