I stood awestruck at the foot, wondering what sort of people could build such a thing or why?
A fifty meter tall, solid wall - as tall as the St. Francis Dam - curving away towards the horizon. A quick back-of-the-envelope estimate told me that it must be at least 500 kilometres around - if it was fully circular. The engineer in me wondered how, offering respect towards anyone who could construct something even remotely like it. Even if , somehow, I didn't think they were fans of Roger Waters.
It was only then the I remembered. Walls are either built to keep something in, or something out.
And it didn't take me much longer to realise that I was on the wrong side.
