A Colorful and Textured Past

While exploring a small central Texas town I came across this beautiful wall that just grabbed my attention. It's a wall, just a simple wall with a bricked-up doorway. But it has weathered in such a way that it beautifully reveals its colorful and textured past. Standing in front of it, you can imagine the building's past lives and how it looked at various times.

The red bricked-up doorway, while a significant focal point in the photo, isn't the subject of the photo. As a result, this is one of those photos where the entire photo is the subject. It's about it being colorful and textured with interesting details.

We can see varying layers and color in the stucco.  Complimenting this, there is beautiful texture resulting from the stucco cracking into many pieces some of which we see on the ground. Clearly, this is an on-going process of transformation. Where the stucco has sloughed off, we can see a wonderful rainbow of painted brick work. I presume some of this could have been from painted advertisements. The faded red bricked-up doorway presents a wonderfully large splash of color.
