Use your visual mind to 'see' the action: 1 some wall(s) of some building(s); (that's all you can deduce) 2 some wall(s) of some building(s); (there is no extra information) .. 6 some wall(s) of some building(s); (there is no more information) Adding 'the' is not a magic participle, it provides no additional 'action' on the subject.
