I saw a picture of a wall in my feed--
of course it was no ordinary wall--
or was it?

It was said to be mundane--something many people look at daily,
but mostly fail to recognize the art-ness of it.
It's so easy just to go on our way
and not notice the things in our midst that are there every single day.

When I saw that wall I knew it had something to do with @kus-knee.
@kus-knee is always offering up some interesting challenges.  
One of my favorites is his "The Mundane as Art" challenge.

I love this Mundane challenge as I love the mundane!
I love the quirky-ness of many things others find as old or deteriorating,
imperfect or not up to par,
and things that have interesting texture, color,
shape, reflections and shadows.

I took this photograph in an old city building in Pottsville, Pennsylvania.
The building was unoccupied for many many years,
and the walls became rich with patina.
I spent several months taking photos of this building,
especially the walls,
enjoying all the textures and colors the weather and years
transformed from perfect to intriguing.

These wooden walls were covered with green moss,
some parts rich with rot,
other parts flaking, splitting and splintering.

"RICH WITH ROT"

Plans were being made to restore these old buildings,
which in some ways would be delightful to see them brought back to life.
And yet in some other ways is sad because this
intricate beauty of their history will be erased forever.
