Hadrians Wall - Milecastle
On a very wet day in June 2017
(it must have cleared slightly to be able to see the hills beyond ...)
what is left of King Herod's Temple. Here people go to pray, men and women seperately. Some write down their innermost
on paper and put it in cracks in the ancient temple wall.
I liked the old brick part of this wall as well as the traditional Norfolk flint. The flowers are nicely haphazard. I cropped and straightened the image. I re-edited the photograph today by cropping it to remove the window.

The wall and the territory of the New Jerusalem Monastery..The Resurrection New Jerusalem Monastery is a historically Stavropegic male monastery of the Russian Orthodox Church in the city of Istra, Moscow region. The monastery was founded in 1656 by Patriarch Nikon, according to which the complex of holy places of Palestine was to be recreated near Moscow..In 1690-1677 a stone wall was erected instead of the old wooden one. The total length of the monastery walls, built in compliance with the requirements of the serf architecture of the era, is about one kilometer, height - nine meters, thickness - up to three meters. The upper part of the walls is a combat move, equipped with two rows of loopholes. Seven towers were erected on the wall breaks, the eighth (Elizavetinskaya) is located above the western gate, and the Gate of Entry Jerusalem Church was built above the eastern (Holy) gate.
The winter white colour of creeping vines slowly takes over the walls of an abandoned hospital. These walls were part of the Mountain Sanatorium built to treat patients with TB in the early 1900s. The Sanatorium began as a simple two tent facility able to treat 8 patients and located on the escarpment overlooking western Hamilton. The tents were soon replaced with cottages and shacks, and finally brick structures to house the thousands that became infected over the first part of the 20th century. The facilities were slowly converted to a general hospital once an antibiotic treatment for TB was discovered. Now closed, the buildings await demolition, and the area is soon to be reshaped by residential development. Hamilton, Ontario
Old Red Brick walls and lots of light. An old structure from Oak Creek Canyon near Sedona in Arizona.
There are more Arizona pictures, from Sedona, Oak Creek Canyon and Grand Canyon, in the Arizona album.
Vegetation vor einer Mauer.
Es ist übrigens nicht die mittelalterliche Stadtmauer von Bad Münstereifel. Aber die ist irgendwo ganz in der Nähe (wie sie es überall in Bad Münstereifel ist).
Vegetation in front of a wall. Incidentally, it is not the medieval city wall of Bad Münstereifel. But it is somewhere very close (as it is everywhere in Bad Münstereifel).
