What do you make of this? It’s an exterior wall with a door, and a letterbox to the left of it. That much is obvious. Then there is a labyrinth of markings – many in white but some in black. Relics of where there was electrical trunking or shelving perhaps? A graffiti artist has added some embellishments. And finally towards the bottom left there looks like a line drawing of something that resembles an open box with the flaps of the top turned out and down.
There’s a lot we don’t know, and never will. It’s a puzzle, but I rather liked it.
I like this a lot, Andy. It’s mysterious but graphically coherent. The colors are great. Could some of those white and black wide lines be from where taped notices or signs were removed?

Thanks Linda. I guess those lines could indicate the position of notices or signs – that would make sense on what is an outside door, but was it always an outside door or an office within a larger building perhaps.

This image makes my mind reel if I attempt to find meaning. It reminds me of a rather more modern and urban version of Peru’s Nazca Plains, for some reason. Well, regardless of what those markings mean, you’ve captured them beautifully in this stunner of an image, Andy!

It is indeed, Ken. Not everyone would call it that, but people like you and me have a wider understanding of the word.

It looks like one of those old-fashioned video games, like Pac-Man. Can’t you just see those little creatures chasing one another around the lines, trying to eat one another up?

Thanks Linda. I understand what you mean – it is like a track. And it also suggested (to me) an architect’s drawing.

This is great Andy. I like to photograph this sort of thing too, I’m always looking out for tree trunks with names and dates carved in them.

Thanks Scott – need a historian cum detective, I think, to unravel the back story to this.
