Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun;
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.
---Robert Frost, "Mending Wall"

Every wall is a door.
---Ralph Waldo emerson



In some places walls come down…


A Cypriot soldier works to remove sections of a wall that divided the Greek and Turkish
Cypriot controlled areas in Ledras main street in Nicosia, Cyprus, early Friday March 9, 2007.
The effort could revive bilateral efforts - frozen for over a year - to allow movement
between the Greek and Turkish sectors in the walled Old City, Nicosia's commercial
and tourist center. (AP Photo/Petros Karadjias)



The fall of the Berlin wall in 1989.


…in other, new walls come up.


Israel's security wall through the West Bank and Jerusalem, and in Hebron.


On May 17,2006 the U.S. Senate approved with S. 2611 what could be 370 miles of triple layered-fencing along the Mexican USA Border.

Joshua Bearman wrote a story for LA Weekly about a game of "border volleyball," in which players on either side of a two-story fence separating the US and Mexico hit a ball back and forth. This is a clip of such a game captured on video, from Wholphin (DVD Magazine of unseen films).
