More Bits and Pieces

These are just some images from the wall in its current state. I liked this one because of the way one section of stones was angling into the other. It is much more striking when its being raked by light, but I couldn't get the sun to cooperate.
 This picture shows the top of one of the sections of the wall that is filled with white stones in a big rectangle. I was experimenting with ways of keeping people from walking on certain sections. I think the result is actually pretty interesting looking.
 This is one of the "staircases" leading from the back of the wall down to the beach. I've filled a rectangle with the discs of stone. This section is right next to the the section in the previous picture.
 This is a little beachwork with white and black stone that grew out of the little circle on the last post. There has been a nice batch of white and black stones washing up as of late. I was down working for a couple of hours today. Couldn't get in the water, but I was able to dig out about 30 stones and get a course or two on one section. I will not "finish" this version this year unless I get a windfall of stone, but at least the idea for it has taken shape.

Three Shots

A quick post. I'll be back soon. The first picture is looking down on one section of the wall. The second is a small circle of black and white stones which has now morphed into a new manifestation which I'll post next time. The third picture is one of those great endings to a good day of beachwork.
