The wall in the penultimate shot is amazing. The builders had to find fieldstone that fit the contours of the previous course and set the rocks without the benefit of mortar.

We had a photography contest theme a while back … “Abandoned”. Any of these photos would have been excellent entries. 🙂. Nicely done!
