Tennis damage
Look at what a tennis ball can do on a Parisian building wall !
This is in fact the wall of a Sport-wear shop where the put these balls on the front to celebrate the Roland Garros French tennis tournament that started last Sunday in Paris. It one of the big sport events here every year and I think that shop had a good idea with these balls. Don't you think the cracks on the wall look real ?
More about the tennis tournament on Roland Garros website.
