a pink wall has been covered with large lettering and many crayon scribbles and mini illustrations
people are exuberant sometimes when you provide the space and the crayons
this wall was part of a local exhibit called the Art of Play

For #WallWednesday here's the "#BerryfieldBreach" in #Colchester's #RomanWall.
It was #OnThisDay - 25, August 1648, during the #SiegeOfColchester that the Parliamentarians blew a hole in the wall at Priory Street but didn't press through. The wall was later rebuilt in brick.

For #DoorwayWednesday this *was* a doorway in the main gatehouse of Battle Abbey, Sussex, but it was walled up, so I suppose that makes it a #WallWednesday post!

the bricks of an alley wall are covered with various bits of chalk graffiti — words, phrases, and some drawings
there are sticks of chalk left in this alleyway in town so that you may add ornamentation whenever the mood strikes

a fairly small painted mural on the side of a tan colored city building showing two bald eagles, one of whom is flying above the second one who is perched and has its mouth open. There is a single rose falling (?) in the air between the two birds
everything seems ambiguous to me lately, but is there anyone who sees this and feels that the message is clear? i’m just curious. and i suppose people for whom eagles don’t seem like weaponized symbols would have a different read

a large mural covering the side of a building shows a baby with a consternated expression, dressed in a police uniform with a fisher-price style pink body cam attached and a pistol in their hand
last night in san francisco I came across this mural, new to me if not in fact new. it stopped me in my tracks - as art should.

Do you know what aspect of this wall makes it clearly Laotian and not another Buddhist art culture? #wallwednesday #photography #temple #wallphotography
a wall casts a shadow upon another wall, and in a gap between the two shadow walls stands the shadow of a street lamp. the sky is blue with clouds, and the top of a bare tree rises up behind the wall.
one of my favorite photos of the past — something about the shadow of the lamppost gives me particular pleasure

a large golden iconostasis with icons embedded and elaborate swinging doors conceals the space behind the altar. there is a white ceramic jug of red tulips and white daffodils in the foreground.
an iconostasis is an interior wall which conceals/protects the divine space behind the altar — part of the glamor of orthodoxy I’m moved by (v different from Protestantism!) this one is in a small church outside of Chyhyryn, Ukraine 🇺🇦

a single graffiti covered wall stands amid weeds and shrubs, one leftover part of a crumbled building. the word TEARS is painted in large black letters with white outlines.
there are more interesting or beautiful walls, certainly, but given the mood of the morning, this one, taken where a raggedy creekside park meets the edge of town, seemed right

a view from below of a short stairway leading to a small landing with no openable doors lit by a fluorescent wall fixture — all the walls as well as the stairs and the bannister, are covered in varied graffiti
when I visited the college campus, one student told me that during the first semester, this hallway going nowhere was a favorite place to visit occasionally, simply to sit in and relax
