Rhys from Darlington, United Kingdom
Thats one mighty shed- certainly more substantial than my humble wooden affair. What I'm drawn to here is the odd arrangement of stones in the wall left of centre. What are they? Nice shot by the way.

@Rhys: Thanks, Rhys. It looks like the builder didn't have appropriate large stones and fitted a mixture of smaller stones in certain places.
@Ken: Thanks, Ken. it's a door.
givethemhell from Germany
This masonry looks pretty solid. No storm will blow the shed apart.

@givethemhell: You're right. It has stood there for a long time. Thanks, Eva.
@Saeed: thank you, Saeed.

You show us here...ONCE MORE.... what a good eye you have for composition! This is a beauty! The eye lingers on the stones and would be tempted to open that door. The touch of moss is delightful! I really like the presentation!
