Matt, there must be an interesting story behind this image. Are they building, or perhaps rebuilding, an ancient wall that has fallen into disrepair?
Is sephia in there, there is a thread for monochrome, and sephia. It would fit nicely there. Not all but your fav.The Cigar Store Indian, advertising from a time gone by has been replaced, rather cleverly, by a local Cigar Bar in town. I've been driving by this statue for a few years and finally got out this morning to snap a couple of profiles. One of these nights, preferably rainy, I'm going to head down there and do a night color version, hopefully catching some neon and tail lights.

I actually talked with the owner about it (we were camping on the fields beyond the wall): It's an old field boundary being replaced, so, nothing fancy, but an ancient technique being upheld. No mortar or similar material is used - just stacked stones. This is one of two walls marking the outer boundaries of his pastures - much more durable than fences (which are still used to further sub-divide the available area), especially at an altitude of 1300 metres.Matt, there must be an interesting story behind this image.
