    I once came across an exhibition of paintings which were all of stone walls - the colours and textures were amazing. This photo would sit well amonst those other works of art.

    those shakers were people of many talents!!! as are you, with your varied photography, all of it exceptionally attractive.
    dry walls building is definitely an art that needs to be mastered !

    Wonderful to see a craft from the "Old World" practised in the "New". I thought you'd made a quick visit over to Ireland for a moment!

    What might appear to be limited subject matter to some eyes has been turned into a very powerful image by you, Doug, with your skilful treatment of it!
