“The Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain (DSWA) was established in 1968 and is a registered charity that works to advance education in the craft and heritage of dry stone walling for the public benefit.”

Last year I watched a repair to a section of this wall near us. In this picture the blue March sky has a tracery of yellow-grey branches. They are like old bones contorted with new life springing from the yellow grass and lichen covered dyke.

@ChaHarper there are many examples of dry stone walling in South Australia near to where I grew up. This skill was obviously used by many of the new settlers in the country.
@Mitzy “The technique was also taken to Australia (principally western Victoria and some parts of Tasmania and New South Wales) and New Zealand (especially Otago).” That from Wikipedia. Fascinating.
