Info on Kotel Stones needed

Hi all --

I recently was in Israel and took a picture of the kotel. I do that a lot. I noticed that one of the stones in the Kotel seemed to have letters in it so I took a picture. But I didn't take any "context" shot so I would know which stone it is, and I certainly don't know what it says.

Does anyone have any info about letters carved into the stones?

I tried uploading it to My Media (instead of an external site) but because it is "mine" no one else can see it. So my workaround (because I'm not sure how else to do this) is to post this

please let me know if you can see the image now.
I think I heard once that there were years that the Kotel was buried. Certainly there's that story about Saladin coming to Jerusalem and finding the Temple Mount and the Kotel buried under mountains of garbage, after which he organized a mass clean-up. This explains how someone managed to get so high up. I can't make out the inscription from your picture, but I assume that like the other inscriptions, it was someone leaving his mark on the wall.
