I like to find unusual walls when I travel just as much as I enjoy looking for interesting doors. I particularly liked this wall that was between a walking path and the water in St Ives. It had been raining that afternoon and everything looked fresh and green. I thought that the wildflowers and vines growing in and around the wall were charming. Later on I realized that I’d taken as many pictures of the wall as I did of the beach. This shows where it began.
Here are some details of the wall.

A great wall. Doors and walls always make great photos in my book. :)

Stone walls can be so intriguing, especially with wildflowers and vines or when there’s just a certain amount of crumbling. We once came across a partial wall in the middle of the woods; we had such fun speculating about why it was there! I love interesting doors and windows too.

Hi Meg, I’m an avid fan of your blog. This post reminds me of Colmar although I haven’t been there. This reminds me of those house walls/balconies festooned with flowers that exude so many intriguing and historic implications.

Love how the flowers manage to get a toehold in the wall cracks. Don’t you wonder how they thrive when I have trouble with flowers in pampered pots being fed plant caviar!!

I wondered about that too – the flowers were just as lovely as any that are watered and cared for in a garden!
