Well to elaborate I just felt like the derelict nature of the walls and surrounding greenery that has grown over several years unpeturbed by human conflict is evoking a sense of peace and slow life.

This contrasts with the busy, noisy days when the walls saw humans attack each other. I yearn for some slow days too.
