A good start to 2019 with a Peacock seen flying as well as 4 Wall Brown larvae on January 1st.
At this stage the Wall Brown larva are just under 1 cm long.
This one was found on my local patch as it was feeding on a blade of Cocksfoot grass. As can be seen, it has eaten away quite a bit of the grass above it and below where it is seen here.
Most mild, sunny days they come out of the grass tussocks to feed, although they are still hard to spot. The 2nd and 3rd brood larva are even harder to find as they only seem to feed at night.
Around the beginning of April they will start to pupate and then by the end of April the butterflies will be on the wing.
Soulis: Resting by the Green Wall. This is right across from the United Nations building in New York City, New York.
The design for the Wall House was created in 1973 as a weekend house. However, it was not realised at the time; this only happened in 2001 in Groningen, on the occasion of an exhibition in public space entitled Blue Moon. The extraordinary residential building was designed by the architect John Quentin Hejduk (New York 1929 - 2000).
The centrepiece of the Wall House design is an 18.5 m wide and 14 m high wall on which various organically shaped rooms "hang" on one side. The entrance, walkway and office are on the other side of the wall.
In 2016, the city of Groningen transferred the use of the building to the Groningen Museum.

Der Entwurf für das Wall House entstand 1973 als Wochenendhaus. Seinerzeit wurde es allerdings nicht realisiert, das geschah erst 2001 in Groningen, anlässlich einer Ausstellung im öffentlichen Raum mit dem Titel Blue Moon. Entworfen hat das außergewöhnliche Wohngebäude der Architekt John Quentin Hejduk (New York 1929 – 2000).
Kernstück des Wall-House-Entwurfs ist eine 18,5 m breite und 14 m hohe Mauer, an der auf einer Seite verschiedene organisch geformte Räume „hängen“. Eingang, Laufbrücke und Büro befinden sich auf der anderen Seite der Mauer.
2016 übertrug die Stadt Groningen dem Groninger Museum die Nutzung des Gebäudes.
HAPPY TUESDAY'S TEXTURES !!
This is an abstract-reality view of where two walls meet.
One a stone block wall, and a other stucco-covered wall.
The latter has been covered with spray-painted "flowers."
They border a small public park:

Wall on the edge of a building abutting the end post for the fence surrounding the adjacent yard. The fence is topped by several strands of barbed, which flows visually with the power cables in the background.
I had a little recce in Tockholes wood in preparedness for a misty/foggy day, whilst on a trip to visit my parents in Bolton. There are lots of woodland opportunities there and I will go there when conditions are favourable.
On may way back to the car I spotted this old dishevelled wall covered in moss and it resembled some dragon like creature decaying in the forest. With the lack of light and dull conditions, I have not got out much with the camera in the last week, so I thought I would at least post this to keep my hand in!.
Our last day in the Peak District, and this wall and wild flower 'arrangement' was begging to be photographed.
Forbidden City, Beijing.
The walls surrounding the Forbidden City are 7.9 metres (26 ft) high. They are 8.62 metres (28.3 ft) wide at the base, tapering to 6.66 metres (21.9 ft) at the top. These walls served defensive walls and also retaining walls for the palace.
At the four corners of the wall are towers with intricate roofs. These towers are the most visible parts of the palace to commoners outside the walls, and much folklore is attached to them. According to one legend, artisans could not put a corner tower back together after it was dismantled for renovations in the early Qing dynasty, and it was only rebuilt after the intervention of a carpenter-legend Lu Ban.
In Transsylvania, churches served as fortresses at the same time and were walled and fortified. Most of them can be visited nowadays on arrangement. The one at Cincsor is one of the better preserved.
The walls of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone as seen looking from Artist Point toward the North Rim. The canyon walls are made up of rhyolite (Volcanic rock) that has been altered by hudrothermal activity (Hot sptings). Alteration of the rock gives the canyon its beautiful colors. The traces of several small hot springs can be seen on the canyon wall
