Two giants were seated where the wall met the asphalt of the alley. Their appearance was dramatic as they towered over parked cars.

The giant on the left had a small head with curved horns. The left-hand giant held up a tree, either to offer or to admire or to puzzle about.

The left-hand giant sat on the surface of the alley. It might have sat in the chair, but the chair was too small and faced the wrong direction. Notice that the two posts protecting the door were also decorated.

Both giants held up trees. The left-hand giant held up what might have been an oak tree. The right-hand giant held up what might have been a conifer tree. The were either comparing trees, exchanging trees, or merely curious about the differences.

The giant on the left-hand side had furry feet. Those feet rested on the alley surface just to one side of a roll-up garage door. Because this was an alley, litter decorated the street surface.

The giant on the right-hand side sat on the alley behind a parked pickup truck. This giant's body was interrupted by a vent in the wall.

The giant on the right-hand side had a flat face with a horn for a nose and furry ears. Small hairs curled on its back and arms. Its arms and body were decorated in a sequence of patterns.
