Description

A close view of a masonry wall built of rectangular blocks in the upper courses and smaller, irregular flat stones in the lower courses. The stones have rough, weathered faces and are set in dark soil or mortar at the joints. The photograph is taken straight on, filling the frame with the wall face, and no people or equipment are visible.
