Stone Works Part One

over the past 4 years I have been building sculptures with rocks and stones.
here are some photos of those works.
These stone sculptures I built last year in my back yard.

This one is around 3 feet tall and was built over 2 days.

This is a stone wall with a round opening in it - the wall is just about a foot tall but it was still difficult to build - once the initial arch is set the rest of the wall becomes progressively easier as the weight adds to the support and strength of the arch. These photos show the stages over 2 days in the wall's construction.
