dry stone wall
I have received a postcard from friends being on vacation in Wales. The picture shows sheep looking down at tourists sitting at the foot of a stone wall. It is raining. The tourists say: "Why they call it a dry stone wall is beyond me... I'm soaked"
I suppose that the stone are not dry as it is raining, they are wet.
But the expression "dry stone wall" appears in a lot of web sites, sometimes as "dry stone walling association" or "dry stone wall festival of music".
I would be grateful to anyone who would be so kind as teaching me about it, for I can't make up my mind at reading those websites.
