This blog post is part of my continuing fascination with walls and the other things that you see on walls such as windows, shadows, pipes, bars, and other architectural details. I like to look at how the elements interact visually and how they come together to form compositions. Sometimes they tell a story and other times they are just an abstract picture. Here are a few that I have collected over the past few months. The first one in the group is a photo that I took this morning; it was the prompt that led to this post.
