The Drystane Dyke and The Quinag

Another photo from Monday's walk - I loved how the dyke emulated the shape of the mountain behind.

A wonderful capture of this lovely scenery and amazing textures. I see so many faces in the dyke ;-)

[Sarah Bremner]

I guess the builders of these amazing dykes had their own creative ideas as well as expertise in construction. They have stood the test of time and the wildest of weather in places.

Wonderfully composed. Those dykes really fit so well in the landscape and are of great craftship. And I love the tiny bits of moss on top.

[Kathy A]

Wonderful textures

[Babs]

Isn't it fabulous. Love how it follows the shape of the mountains

[julia]

What a fantastic wall.. Great pov with the mountains following the line..

[Valerie Chesney]

This is absolutely amazing.... I am with Diana @ludwigsdiana I can see many faces here.

[Julie Duncan]

I, too, am seeing faces. Wonderful shot! (Naturally, I had to google "Scottish dykes" and get a bit of history. Fascinating!) :)

[Louise & Ken]

I love that you have so many wonderful, natural places to go walking and that you share your photos with us!

[Merrelyn]

I see so many faces silently watching over the landscape .

[Judith Johnson]

Lovely scenery, you are so lucky to have this on your doorstep

[KWind]

Very pretty! I like the textures.

[Margaret Brown]

Beautiful, and I love the moss that’s growing along the top

[Kathy]

I like the drystone wall. It fascinates me how they stay together as long as they do. Wonderful leading line.

[Pat Knowles]

A very large version of a dry stone wall. Love the way it’s as majestic as the mountains behind!

[Shutterbug]

Love how these structures created long ago stand more soundly than many more recent constructions.

[Phil Howcroft]

Great shot- and this is definitely the area that came up on my start upscreen today- I recognize that name- Quinag. Now if I could only remember the name of the rock in the picture! (It had something to do with a rock slide and stone pillars that were left behind from it.)
