At Housesteads there is a section of the wall you're actually allowed to walk along (not that this stops people from walking along the bits you're not supposed to). This picture is of the building.

Into the post-Christmas dog days, the photo of the day of the year reaches August. Here's a visit to a favourite location on the Roman wall, Housesteads fort, which was housing an installation "The Future Belongs to What Was As Much As What Is", by artist Morag Myerscough, poet Ellen Moran with words sourced from the community along the wall.

Here’s a photo of fort taken by me from the air some eight years ago. Hadrian’s Wall is visible to the right as it forms the northern wall of the fort.

For here’s a shot of fort on . This photo was taken from the south and shows the way the fort straddles the brow of the hill. The vicus remains are visible outside the fort walls. Hadrian’s Wall forms the north fort wall (not seen).
