Ties & Ivy

            FOR TUESDAY'S TEXTURES. 
This is a section of a garden retaining wall, made out of stacked, used railroad ties. The holes were made by iron spikes driven into the ties when they were in use.  Most of you probably know that formerly, spikes were used to hold the steel tracks in place on a bed of wooden ties. 

This ivy, like many plants, seems to be "unconsciously ingenious" at finding its way to a secure spot with access to sunlight and air. 

Location: Retaining wall of an elevated private garden, next to a public path. Riehen BS Switzerland. 
In my album: Dan's Miscellany.
