Description
Ishatae A Quiet Place by Kathy K. McClellan is a photographic image created for Day 306 of the 365 Challenge (Journal 2022).
The circular rock wall in this photograph is located at the Wichahpi Commemorative Wall a few miles northwest of Florence, Alabama (USA), also known as Tom's Wall. There are four layers of stone, each of a different design, to represent the circle of life: birth, life, death and rebirth.
The entire structure, which would measure 6,600 feet if straightened out is said to be the largest un-mortared wall in the United States and was built by one man over a period of 30 years.
The builder, Tom Hendrix built the wall as a memorial to his great-great grandmother Te-lah-nay, a Yuchi Indian healer who was sent to the Indian Territory of Oklahoma when the US government relocated Indians. She was a teenager at the time.
After spending one winter in Oklahoma, Te-lah-nay spent the next five years making her way back to The Singing River (Tennessee River) in Alabama.
