So hard for me to imagine... where do you live?

18 miles from the farthest Most Northwest point in the USA, total population in a 50 mile radius is around 1500  LOL. rock walls are not part of PNW tradition. I have never seen one in the outlying communities of Neah Bay, Forks, Clallam Bay or Sekiu. We might have a concrete bunker or 2 but thats about it  LOL

Brian, I think it is hard for people to remember, we have not been around as long as other continents and here on the west coast we are even younger. An old church is like 1950s here, if that and if we go older (1890s) they are made of logs or lumber.

Hi Ian.
Congratulations again on your win! 
Superb topic: stone walls. Give us some time and we'll bury you under an entry and several NE's!

I will have to go hunting for something, like Brian, not common here - mostly stucco where I live and things aren't that old here so no old churches or ruins . . . most of our ruins are wooden. I'll see what I can spot in my travels. Must be a west coast thing.

Alright Deborah. Sorry about this challenge! Thought it was an easy-ish theme.
Have a good look around at the all and any stone wall. Churches are always good for this because they have nice walls and design!

our churches here are 1960's metal buildings  LOL

Same here. Ours are mostly stucco with Spanish tiles like our old missions. Old ones here, if they are still standing, are wooden. I think stone was too expensive or not readily available in California. Just like when I was in Arkansas was amazed at all the brick buildings, bricks are expensive here but there cheap and stucco is expensive to them.
