I've photographed this lovely curved section of original dry stone wall on Balsam Lake Road several times over the years, partly because it's in such mint condition, partly because it's such a beautiful shape. The wall is over 150 years old.

Here's a photo I took last year when we were repairing walls further down the road.
The image of the curve was used for the original Dry Stone Wall Association of Canada t-shirt logo before we became Dry Stone Walling Across Canada
When we returned to do some more work here this spring I was very sad to see that a huge tree had fallen on the wall.
Walls don't last forever, neither do trees. But then, walls can be rebuilt.
