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.
One of the flint walls found near Birling Gap, near Eastbourne, East Sussex - January 2021.

This area is really neglected, with the factory walls covered in graffiti and Buddleia left growing from the most unlikely places in amongst the brickwork. In time it'll break it apart as it grows.
But I love it and recently I took a walk with my partners' two Retrievers through town and several of the outlying villages. It was just the kind of day to keep on walking, so we did and what great company they were!
Oski, the older of the two stopped about 15 times on the way back, refusing to move, but later on I encouraged him to only take short breathers before walking on and it was as though he heard and understood me!
When we got home I traced our route on Google maps and found that we'd walked for 12 miles.
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).
