Building Walls

ML and I traveled to Vermont this weekend to visit family. With the foliage in full splendor, the state is at its most beautiful. Driving around to enjoy the scenery we came across this stone wall.

Most New England stone walls were useful only as repositories for the stones cluttering the fields. This one is recent and built for the sake of the wall building art. We were told the architect of this particular wall is a young Welshman who spends a few weeks each summer at the landowner's expense adding to his creation, which already winds along the gravel road for nearly a mile.
