Walls in Many Guises

It’s my turn this week to host Leanne’s Monochrome Madness challenge. And I’ve chosen Walls. We’re all surrounded by them: at home, at work, in town, in the garden … even in the countryside. What can we find?

Let’s start off in town. Here’s a wall that’s lived a bit, in Alella, Catalunya.

And another, in Premià de Dalt, where a town wall becomes a place to celebrate the work of a poet who came from there, Marià Manent.

A smarter wall this time, from the Unterdenlinden Museum in Colmar, Alsace.

Here’s a wall in Lewisham, London, with a message that needs shouting loud and clear. Why is palm oil so hard to avoid in the average weekly shop?

Walls can support plants as well as paintings and messages. Here’s a walled garden in the grounds of Beningbrough Hall, Yorkshire.

But walls can be all-encompassing too. Here are tunnel walls on a motorway in France.

But this Yorkshire lass can’t forget the emblematic drystone walls of her home county. I’ll leave you with these picture postcards from home.

And the header photo? That’s me on the Thames Path in London, my shadow against a wall in Woolwich.
