Oui un beau savoir faire, dommage que maintenant cela et bien d'autres choses disparaissent de nos vies !

A great perspective Roger............and a super shot. I just love the shapes and textures in the stones and the very clever way they've all been fitted together. They ain't going anywhere!

It looks much bigger and newer, than this one: www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/31127249

Roger (Grisly) replied to Keith Burton:

Thank you, Keith, newer but only because it is a rebuild of an existing croft,
We stayed in a modernized croft which nice but rather compact, an experience for sure!

Eine ausezeichnete Konstruktion, Roger.
Scheinbar halten die Bruchsteine auch ohne Zement die Mauern des Hauses.
Schöne Grüße und einen guten Abend

Beautiful, robust construction with a natural color harmony in the stones. Very nicely presented. Pleasant end to the day, Roger.
