Behind this brick wall, which faced the street I lived on, there was a parking lot for a few businesses on the corner — a bar, a yoga studio, a bank branch. Like another brick wall I’ve published a photo of here, it seems to have suffered some damage, maybe more than once.

But one night I was coming home from an evening out and saw that someone had mounted a painting of a tranquil river and bridge scene to it. That isn’t trivial; you don’t just hammer some nails into brickwork. Maybe that’s why no other artwork joined it, and it eventually vanished as quietly as it had appeared.
