I have always loved stone walls and that's a heck of a nice one.

yeah i like too! Looks like dry stack but what do you call that with the larger square stones? Castle stone? I want some stone work in my future house and it will either be like in your first pic or the very thin irregular and rough dry stack like I saw on a resturant in Gatlinburg Tenn. The more natural looking the better.
