"Cone Estate Carriage House"
Blowing Rock, NC - February 2001 (Click to embiggen)
In case you missed it: Check out my entry in Nicole B's Scavenger Hunt!
Around Flat Top Manor and the Carriage house are a number of retaining walls built -- like many things in the area -- of native stone. With a layer of surprise snow it made a compelling photograph.

Good choice. The angle of the wall reminds me of the Rock of Gibraltar.
The sepia toning has given this such an other worldly feel; that's just me :)
Enjoy the rest of the week.
Definitely very compelling. It's got a real Little House on the Prairie feel to it.
Oh, this is really pretty!
Love these old stone walls! Sepia is a perfect choice for this photo I think. The snow dusts the top like frosting on a cake!
I don't know why it evoked feelings for me of soldiers and winter - we each see what we see I guess.
The sepia does make it moody. :)
I like this a lot...and Carletta has got soldiers in my mind now! I doubt if I would have thought that if I hadn't seen her comment.
Oh yeah, this one is niiiiiiiice!
good job with the sepia tones, a touch of snow is always great!
Stones laid in these walls without mortar is timeless. Forgive us who feel as if we are in the 1800s as we study this picture - fabulous!
How beautiful. I like how the stones are laid and stacked. Great shot, it feels like a whole different time.
These walls made from stones are pretty uncommon here in Singapore. But while I was in Korea, I saw them everywhere just like the one in your picture..covered in snow while I was freezing to death!! :P
Very nicely built rock wall! The snow adds that little extra pizzazz to an already beautiful photo. Thanks for sharing.
to me this is a taste of things to come, minus the snow though... mmmm, i'm ready for hibernation.
I'm going to assume this is YOUR carriage house. ;-) Mighty spiffy in sepia.
This works perfectly in sepia
The stacks, the snow... All add up a perfect sepia scene!
Just lovely, Mojo! I always love that chocolatey sepia tone! Thanks for playing... :)
