Gathering moss
I loved the light on the moss-covered dry stane (stone) dyke on this walk. These dykes are a really common feature here (in north east Scotland), and we tend to take them for granted. But they are works of real craft and skill - built with no mortar to hold the stones together, but relying on the skilled placement of interlocking stones for its strength. Taken near Portlethen, Aberdeenshire.
