The buildings at the western end of London Wall, in the City of London.
London Wall was the defensive wall first built by the Romans around Londinium, their strategically important port town on the River Thames in what is now the United Kingdom, and subsequently maintained until the 18th century. It is now the name of a road in the City of London running along part of the course of the wall. Until the later Middle Ages the wall defined the boundaries of the City of London.
Part of the route originally taken by the northern wall is commemorated, although now only loosely followed,[9] by the road also named London Wall, on which the Museum of London is located. The modern road starts in the west with a roundabout at Aldersgate, then passes east past Moorgate, from which point it runs parallel to the line of the City Wall, and eventually becomes Wormwood Street before it reaches Bishopsgate. This alignment, however, is the result of rebuilding between 1957 and 1976.[10] Prior to this, London Wall was less wide, and ran behind the line of the City Wall for its entire length, from Wormwood Street to Wood Street.[11] The western section is now St Alphage Garden.

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.

My Maya travel narrative: The Travel Companion to the Realm of the Maya
Climbing the first staircase of the absurdly named Codz Poop, “Palace of the Masks,” we were presented with a second consecutive and even intensified jaw-dropping sight. Before us stood a twenty-foot tall, 150 foot wide building covered with 250 large stone masks of the frankly terrifying lord Chaak. Now Chaak is not new to the cast of characters as he is the most prominent of all representations at Uxmal. However, never has he been more intimidating or overpowering. Each mask is a few feet square complete with maniacal “googly eyes,” full teeth borne and the trademark hook nose not dissimilar to a toucan’s. Even the steps to the structure’s doorways are fronted with steps fashioned from enlarged Chaak noses.
Chaak with all of his features of folly, leaves the most unsettling sensation in the pit of the stomach. The protruding nose, while reminiscent of some of the jungle’s most handsome fowl, wields an ominous shape that of a tool intended for more sinister occupations. From behind the nose, a snarling wide mouth flashes two dentist’s nightmare rows of irregular teeth, chipped and cracked as though munching on a mouthful of stone that forms the face itself. And the face of Chaak leaves little to suggest any true human qualities though traditionally his body (when present) is a hybrid of human, reptilian and amphibian form. But no single feature pierces quite like Chaak’s eyes. Not dissimilar to that stalking yet cute stack of money, I’m sure they’d rattle if shaken. These eyes are piercing and distressing, though, a hundred fold more than any corporate mascot. Two eyes are enough to make one look away and avoid all direct eye contact but 500 plus is powerful enough to inflict paranoia complexes and incite panic.

Finally getting some of my mini quilts back up on the walls. I was sick and tired of that empty, white wall. This is apparently turning into the "Fall" wall.
We recently rearranged some of the art in our house. These three pictures were spread around in various places and looked great in their own rights. Together, they really make the wall pop and represent every color in the rainbow. A little bit about them from top to bottom. Top right, no idea but it looks cool perhaps Asian entertainers of some sort, Cossacks perhaps. Middle-left, we bought this at an art show in Keystone earlier this year. The lady who painted it was really cool and had some really bright paintings. Bottom-center, this was painted by my wife’s father in the early 70s so it means the most to us. For context, he was a general in the Air Force doing secret communications shit, so a propeller head of the first order and he painted some really cool things.
lichen inspired wall sculpture, quite large for me, by that I mean I can't hide it in my hand! unfired porcelain

Friday’s Food for Thought
All of us in life will run into walls. Walls are there to see if you really want the dream behind it. Many have ran into the barriers but turn back because they could not see how to overcome them. It is not about going over them or through them, it is about commitment.
If you do not make it over try again, again, and again. Keep going.
I know it can get hard and it is easy to turn back but there is a great blessing on the other side of the wall. More than you can ever imagine.
