The Wall - In Context

I am posting this for those of you who enjoyed my two previous "Wall' photos. You can just see it in context to the left of the building in this photo.
This is at the back of the Steampunk HQ building, originally called Meeks Grain Elevator built in 1883 when the town at that time was a flourishing sea port, and bigger than Los Angeles. By the time it was competed it was almost obsolete as New Zealand had stopped providing wheat to the UK by then. The five storey building was the only one of its kind in the southern hemisphere . In 1920 the top two storeys were destroyed in a spectacular fire and the roof at the rear of the building fell in. The wall in my photos is what remains of the south wall and has been standing like that since the fire.

I found this newspaper story describing the fire in great detail - written on the day it occurred. Some of you may find it interesting CLICK HERE

Now we see how the wall looks. The giant flies are basking in the sun.

On the far left I can see the first wall image you submitted, with the weeds growing out of it. Like a sky with some clouds, a plain wall needs some flaws for character. This one certainly has that.

Referring to Bob's comment above: don't worry, my friend, because they don't harm you since their position hasn't been changed when compared to the previous image in which they were depicted as well, ☺ .

Good image Lyn. Makes clear now how the wall is integrated in the Steampunk building.
