This Old Wall

Far up a mountain holler, past the apple orchards and into the first leg of the climb up the mountain, long hidden by the forest rests a piece of history.



Work gives me the opportunity to explore new roads and to see new things from long ago.



Somebody's grandfather built this wall, when he was a younger man I would imagine.



This old wall at Client #5's.

Magnificent. If that old wall could talk. The tales it could share. If only a person was a mind to it could be restored to it's glory. I love it.
Thanks, Christopher.

It reminds me of some of the old rock walls I saw in Hawaii. Built so long ago it's hard to imagine the intensive labor it took. Maybe this is why there weren't any treadmills back then. Lovely photos!

Hi Christopher, I am thrilled to see the numerals of clients climbing. What a spotlessly clean wall, no weeds or vines attempting a takeover? I envy your exploration of the ancient mountain and the meeting of its inhabitants.

Wow, is this wall at a location where it could be incorporated into client 5's garden? What an opportunity that would be.
This is a revelation; I am only used to these kinds of walls in New England.
