A drystone wall with a cemented topping near the village of Cheddleton in Staffordshire. Is there a local game to see how many pieces of the wall can be removed before it collapses?
Somehow, this wall background showed off the beauty of tulips to good effect.
Who knew?
I guess it is because the wall is a regularly structured uniform surface in a contrasting color,
but not a blank surface. There is just enough structure and bland-but-deep, warm color
for us to know it isa "nice" wall. However, there is not enough to the wall to drag our attention away
from either the tulips or the little volunteer primulas and mini geese flowers in the lawn.
These latter pretty little things in the foreground shield us from having to see that
the beautiful tulips are standing in plain old dirt. 😎
Location: Front yard of a private home, Riehen BS Switzerland.

Walls designed by Leonardo da Vinci to defend the Citadel, during his stay in Piombino from 1502 to 1504.
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.
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.
