A stone wall which is entirely covered by moss and small flowers.
It is part of the fortress wall of the Moorish Castle in Sintra, Portugal. The medival castle was presumably built in the 8th or 9th century, during the muslimic rule of Portugal. It can be visited with just an hour drive from Lisbon.
La Posada Hotel, Winslow, Arizona.
Like most businesses, La Posada likes to show off its famous customers. The most famous, in addition to having their photo hanging on a wall, get a room named for them. Most were seriously famous, such as presidents, war heroes, and legendary movie stars. Our room, however (which was one of the highest-priced) was named for a present day stand-up comedian who is probably known by everybody except me; his Wikipedia article is here. (No, it isn't Jerry Seinfeld.)
This is a list of some of the famous guests, taken from La Posada's site:
Albert Einstein

I am the watcher of the walls. I pledge my life and honor to the Wall's Watch, for this day and all the days to come.

Another first sighting, A Wall Brown Butterfly enjoying the hedgerow as we walked the path to Brean Down, Somerset.
You were someone to believe in
A place for hope in a changing world
Feeling every moment
Every one of the years spent in your arms
After a lifetime of living
These soiled hands show no life at all
Working at all hours
Never facing the fears here in my heart
Grieving for the loss of heaven
Weeping for the loss of heaven
By the wailing wall
You were someone to believe in
Giving life where there was a will to learn
But it's the nature of living
To count only the years left in your heart
“Você faz suas escolhas, e suas escolhas fazem você.”
"You make your choices, and your choices makes you."

Wall (Lakota: Makȟóšiča Aglágla Otȟuŋwahe, "Town alongside the Badlands") is a town in Pennington County, South Dakota, United States. The population was 699 at the 2020 census.

Serving as a gateway to South Dakota's finest attractions and opportunities, Wall is an active community of 800 focused on creating a vibrant community and meeting the needs of residents and millions of visitors each year. While Wall has become a hub for tourism and is often referred to as the "Window to the West," "Gateway to the Badlands," or the "Heart of American Tourism" – the city is a destination stop by its own right.
Although Wall's primary attraction is the world-famous Wall Drug, it has become a well-equipped town that provides services, dining and lodging to the millions of visitors each year that visit nearby attractions such as the Badlands National Park and the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site. But it hasn't lost that small-town charm or western spirit that makes it a great place to stop and stretch your legs, or stay awhile to explore.

Wall, South Dakota, "the geographic center of nowhere," is probably known best to cross-country travellers for its main attraction, Wall Drug. Advertised on gigantic billboards for hundred of miles to the west and east on Interstate 90, the gargantuan drug store has put Wall on the nation's map. There are also Wall Drug signs all over the world telling how many miles to Wall Drug.
Sourc: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Drug
Wall Drug Store, often called simply Wall Drug, is a roadside attraction and tourist stop located in the town of Wall, South Dakota, adjacent to Badlands National Park. Wall Drug consists of a collection of cowboy-themed stores, including a drug store, gift shop, several restaurants, and various other stores, as well as an art gallery and an 80-foot (24 m) brontosaurus sculpture. Unlike a traditional shopping mall, all the stores at Wall Drug operate under a single entity rather than being run individually. The New York Times has described Wall Drug as "a sprawling tourist attraction of international renown [that] draws some two million annual visitors to a remote town."

History of Wall Drug
One of the world’s most well-known tourist attractions, it’s hard to believe Wall Drug Store got its start with something many wouldn’t even turn their heads at today … the promise of free ice water. But in fact, the Husteads turned free ice water into a million-dollar idea with a little determination, quick thinking and a lot of signs.
Signs with catchy jingles like “Get a soda . . . Get a root beer . . . turn next corner . . . Just as near . . . To Highway 16 & 14. . . Free Ice Water. . . Wall Drug” drew weary travelers into the small-town drug store to enjoy a refreshing break. Today, more than 2 million visitors a year stop at the popular roadside attraction for a meal or activity, 5 cent coffee, and ice water – which is still free.
Located in Wall, South Dakota, Wall Drug has always been a popular stop on the road to the more populated areas like Mount Rushmore or Rapid City. As a matter of fact, when the United States Air Force operated the Minuteman missile silos east of Wall, the Hustead family offered free coffee and donuts to the service personnel as they traveled to and from Ellsworth Air Force Base near Rapid City. Wall Drug honors the men and women in the armed services by providing them free coffee and donuts to this day.

America's favorite roadside attraction! Since 1931, Wall Drug has evolved into a 76,000-square-foot wonderland of free attractions, including the Western Art Gallery Restaurant, which seats 520. Located in the city of Wall, just north of Badlands National Park, Wall Drug offers free attractions, entertainment, food, 5-cent coffee, shopping, the Big Back Yard, a unique mining experience, a Traveler's Chapel, and free ice water, of course. It’s fun for the whole family.

We got to Ham Wall before sunrise......to try and capture the lovely icy misty morning, but as I've never been there before it was hard to know where to go to best capture the place.
On Sunday me and a friend went to Ham Wall nature reserve, part of the somerset levels. Ham Wall is a newly-created wet land and reed bed, now one of the largest in the UK.
We went for the day, higlights were watching the Marsh Harriers hunt and the starling murmuration.
It's early in the season but they have about 200,000 + settling in most evenings. At the moment while the weather is mild they have been splitting in to several groups, so you have to take a chance as where to stop and watch them. They had a chap from the RSPB doing a talk on this evening, he said as winter sets in and it gets colder the flocks could reach a million birds and larger flocks will group together to keep warm over night. So I'll will be going back on the coldest days on Jan/Feb :-)
The Paducah Wall to Wall Floodwall Mural. Renowned artist Robert Dafford and his team of muralists capture Paducah’s rich history in paintings on the city’s floodwall overlooking the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers.
This visionary project began in the Spring of 1996, and currently features 54 murals.

A weathered figure on a Paris wall.
Today I take a detour towards the whimsical, in the form of a figure found on a a wall in Le Marais, in Paris. It looks like an anime character to me, but I'm not super familiar with those "folks," and a quick image search online didn't come up with an identification for this one.
I saw quite a few of these examples of paper street art glued to walls in Paris and in other places in Europe. Oddly, I never saw a fresh and undamaged example — those that I saw ranged from mildly weathered to nearly gone. For me, part of their charm lies in the weathering away of the material.
