Hadrians Wall - Milecastle
On a very wet day in June 2017
(it must have cleared slightly to be able to see the hills beyond ...)
I found this rather very sad mural in a little park in my town where I live on a wall of an electricity building.
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.

Fortifications Carcassonne is a medieval architectural-urbanist complex. On the hill where the fortifications of Carcassonne are now, there was a fortification before Roman rule (VI century BC).
At the end of the 3rd and beginning of the 4th century the settlement was strengthened by the construction of a long defensive wall of about 1200 m. Fortifications consisting of two lines of walls and a castle extend to a total length of 3 km.

Fortyfikacje Carcassonne to średniowieczny zespół architektoniczno-urbanistyczny. Na wzgórzu, gdzie teraz znajdują się fortyfikacje Carcassonne, jeszcze przed okresem panowania rzymskiego (VI wiek p.n.e) istniało grodzisko.
W końcu III i początku IV wieku osadę wzmocniono przez budowę muru obronnego długiego na około 1200 m. Fortyfikacje składające się z dwóch linii murów i zamku rozciągają się na całkowitą długość 3 km.
