I love this photo. There is so much going on in it texture-wise.
And old log cabin-wise.
The worm and carpenter-bee holes.
The axe and adz marks.
The contrast between the stones and wood.
The horizontal and vertical, and even diagonals.
The logs are very roughly hewn. Not fine and finished like some the bigger cabins I have seen.
But it tells so many stories.
A home for a farm worker or even maybe a slave.
Not built to be lived in for many years by the landowner. (There was a bigger clap board house near by.)
You can see different methods.
Both wood and stone chinking.
The vertical board that once had siding attached.
Here is a picture of the cabin this wall is from. Now gone. Can you find the part of the wall where the picture is aimed at?
