Old stone wall

In trying to keep with the theme of the last two images, I post this image taken in southwestern Provence in France. This was a farm with buildings from the 1600s that we stayed at where they made artisinal cheeses and other farm products. They raised the sheep, goats, pigs and other farm animals. They even allowed us to participate in the making of the cheese. It was a really fun experience.

Love the lines and textures, and old hand-laid stone.
Great eye to have seen and captured this!

Some nice, ancient construction and it makes for a nice sort of abstract image, too.

David,
Texture, shapes, the bell on the strap, the small inset window, the thickness of the walls, the sign, the horizontal log and the moss in some of the mortar makes this photo very interesting. Look at the size of the rock used as a lentil over the window. How many men did it take to lift it up there? This photo is very rich.
