  8. I think scenes like this re so interesting. I have to admit.... I do not think I have every found plants growing out of walls before. For sure I have seen ivy growing on walls.... but never IN walls.

    A pretty crazy scene.

  11. I'm not seeing any ivy but there area few other plants growing on this wall. I'm thinking the wall must face northerly. And I'm wondering how long this brickwork will last now that plants are growing in between. :)

  12. I don't think there is any ivy growing on that wall. Maybe little ferns. Hopefully the Ivy was scraped off and disposed of. Not quite an Ivy League type, eh?

    Interesting though. Mb

  15. Urban survival. I really like the mossy stuff but some of those ferns are just asking for a weed whacker.

  16. Brick walls seem to be a trend at the moment! An interesting clash between nature and human construction efforts here.

  21. I LIKE THAT! The wall doesn't look like Astoria, but the ferns and things growing out of it makes me feel right at home! This is a great pic!

  22. I like the composition,colors and textures.
    It would have been a good choice to take fashion shots or portraits of "trendy people" in front of this wall.... :-)
