Looks like some unsuitable stone in there...

There's some really good data in there.
I have seen townhouses here in DC that have this reddish colored stone used on their facade. Lots of them are eroded to the point that the stones really should be replaced. I should get pictures on my walks, but people think you are up to something when you take pictures of their houses. |

The 2010 film "Monsters" about an accidental infestation of space aliens has a wall between Mexico and the US to keep the beasties from coming north. Even at ~80 feet tall and ~60 feet thick, it didn't work.

Something in the exposure qualities make the two photos almost seem like different walls.

The first photo is the official mug shot, the second from the misc photos page. Certainly not taken at the same time and likely not by the same person or camera.
