contents In this note we consider a two-dimensional semi-discrete dislocation energy and propose a simple and physically motivated construction for the grain boundary between two crystal grains with a small orientation difference. In the case of a general Bravais lattice, the energy of this construction matches the logarithmic scaling predicted by Read and Shockley.
