la_samtyrIt's nice to know that Durin's line continues to flourish. :)

The stone for the wall (pictured right) was reclaimed sand stone from the local collapsed field walls which had long since been neglected. Richard (below) used grit stone from a nearby Victorian quarry for the tree's foliage. The tree is a retraining wall using about 20 tons of stone to stabilise the higher ground.
Richard and his son Lewyn built the wall in a private garden near Holmfirth, West Yorkshire, England of 'Last of the Summer Wine' fame. The client set the challenge that we should build a tree in the style of Van Gogh's Olive trees. This is an intuitive interpretation. The work which was a small part of a much larger project cost £5,000.
Pictured below Richard and Lewyn stand in front of a similar design built using granite and slate. The dry stone tree is built in the Tatra mountains, part of the Carpathian mountain chain between Slovakia and Poland.
