another brick wall

Ziegelmauer mit VignetteThe blog stats are curiously addictive and an insight into the strange & mysterious world of net searches. Far and away the most hits I’ve got are for Ivor Cutler’s poem ‘Alone’ (from May 2007) but I suspect it’s the image of a brick wall that lures people so I’ve decided to present another one!

The textures of this one are not as pristine as the first so will perhaps be less attractive.

I suppose staring at a brick wall is something akin to watching paint dry as a metaphor for the human condition.
