No One Had any Intention of Building a Wall.
And yet, they did. In the middle of a meadow. It’s just a wall. About 10 metres long, 2.5 metres high. No other structure around. So I guess it’s fair game for sprayers. And the taggers who just spray without artistic intention at least appreciated the panda and his dream of bamboo and let it be.
