Landscaping and nonlandscaping, with a concrete wall between them.
I often see this style of wall used for shielding people's eyes from views of dumpsters. And the woodland beyond it is just as ugly as a dumpster, right?

Just an extraordinarily highly guywired area, not a public art.
I guess there's a utility pole somebody's worried might fall over.

Country scene.
This was "traveling lifestyle" scenery of freeway interchanges and parking lots and utility poles and the Appalachian Mountains in winter sunshine. A vine climbs the utility pole.

This picture is about my effort to line up the famous golden dome of the Dubuque County Courthouse so it would be visually framed between a rickety old fire escape and a utility pole.
I was glad to have gotten the idea and it was interesting work, standing here doing this.

Of all of the tulip poplars in the city of Welch, West Virginia, this one's my favorite because of the hope that it shall literally symbolize a future massive tree upon its site.
Liriodendron tulipifera is the tallest native breed of hardwood tree on the eastern part of its continent, so you're guaranteed to know that it's gonna be huge when it gets finished. I don't need to worry about the adjacent bldg because the U.S. is prett…

This place is famous: the "Treasure Bud's Chest" shop in downtown Wooster, Ohio.
The rampant scarequotes are meant to indicate how ridiculous it would be to truly and literally "treasure" "Bud's" (not his real name) rather unimpressive "chest."

Heavy vine- and mortarwork for your parking.
Here's a parking spot that I might not mind using sometime — provided nobody beats me to it, now that I'm broadcasting its telephone number all up and down the internet. The vinework puts me almost-somewhat in the mind of a fishing net decoration on a pi…

Where in the h. is a man supposed to shop in this town when he needs foam rubber.
I am sick to pieces of living in a town where the businesses don't sell the things customers want. For oh I'd say well-over-a-year, I have been calling around to places asking for foam rubber. I'd go through a $teady $upply of it ongoingly if I could fi…

Contact the owners and ask them how come there's a picture of their Oriented Strand Board fence-patching job on the internet.

Requires the climbing plant to present itself to anybody that wants to stare @ it.
Maybe the climbing plant would prefer to protect its modesty but I don't see anything modest about the absurdly ornate trellis to which it's been cruelly lashed for who knows how long.

My favourite colour of wall, plus lively vine that doesn't seem to wanna spread out horizontally very much despite all the space it's got.
Ha ha that's how certain breeds of ornamental poplars get started!, naw I'm just kiddin.
