| Here is a beautifully built dry stone wall located just south of Stanbridge East in Quebec, Canada. Nice uniform coursing and careful fitting of awkward roundish granite makes this wall a real pleasure to behold. Who says you cant build with round stones? This dry stone wall doesn't look very old, but we could be mistaken. If anyone knows anything about this wall , and who built it or knows of other walls like it in the area, please let us know. | This is a thoughtful and complimentary dry stone wall terracing technique added to to a limestone rock-cut near Napanee Ontario. |

| Built in 1910-1920's this tall retaining wall(some8 feet) was disturbed several years ago by landscaping which caused it to bow out drstically and was about to collapse in one spot. The owners wanted it rebuilt properly and over the course of two weeks, the wall was stripped down and rebuilt from the bottom up. | These lovely dry stone retaining walls seen from the 1000 Islands Parkway near Rockport Ontario, appear to have been built quite recently, by someone who knew what they were doing. |

| Here is part of a fieldstone wall that will encircle the crown of the hill in the middle of seven acres of bush in Dornoch, Ont ( called Maplecraft). The wall is named Waterstone Wall , and is a curved wall section that runs along the rim of a steeply sloping hill. With nothing but a textbook inkling of what to do, and with the backbreaking task of hauling all the stones one at a time up hill from thick and bug-infested bush,this new walling enthusiast completed this significant portion the summer of 2006. | An interesting curved retaining wall in Ontario which combines flat and round local fieldstone in a structural yet relaxed style. |

| Another look at the stunning structure members of the DSWA of Canada designed and built in Virginia during the summer of 2006. This dry stone 'tomb entrance' in Rappahannock County ( ok ,ok, it was really an entrance to a swimming pool pump-house built into the side of a hill on private property), is built from local stone lying at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains. | An entrance way with stepped down curved sections in Cornish Hollow. The two round pillars 6 feet in diameter and 5 feet high make for a stunning first impression. |

| This dry stone water-garden feature, near Bowmanville Ontario, which incorporates round glacial field stone gathered from the property, was originally intended to have a turf top coping. This would have softened the look of the stone, giving the wall a finished look and blending it better into it's environment. The 24 inch circular wall extends down well below grade inside the pool so that a pleasing structural arrangement of stones (rather than a rubber liner) can be seen below the surface. A steady flow of water enters the pool fromthe small circular arch. | Here is a lovely gate entrance to a horse farm near Mohawk Raceway.Standing over 5' tall this recently completed structure is only thesecond project of an enthusiastic new comer to the possibiliteis ofdry stone walling here in Canada . We hope to be seeing a lot more ofhis work. |

| A recently built dry stone wall adds a beautiful accent to a century home in Udora Ontario. The wall was constructed using palleted limestone supplied from a local stone yard, rather than random quarry stone, or found field stone. It has some interesting curves and changes in elevation. Perhaps this wall could use some vertical coping. | |
