This is the photo I posted the other day of the wall around the corner.
Of course there is a lizard sunning itself on this lovely wall.
How about a blob of blue glass in the wall? Why not?
This wall keeps giving surprises.
Today in Camperdown we wandered past the house with a dry stone wall that has pipes sticking out of it. It is on a corner. We turned the corner and discovered that this part of the wall has reddish-brown solid lasts from shoe making in it. Now that wall is built by someone with great wall building skills and a delightful eccentric, creative streak.
The stump of an old ash tree, felled some years ago, is adorned by large plates of bracket fungus which will be aiding the slow decomposition of the wood. Below the fungus you can see a row of coping stones from the dry stone wall in the foreground. These stones, newly revealed, were once completely enclosed by the tree as it grew.
The location is Sheffield UK.
