Graffiti Done Right

I am not always a great fan of graffiti, mostly it's just the ugly scrawls of delinquents defacing public property that ends up costing the taxpayer millions each year to remove. But done right it can become a great local art exhibit that enhances an otherwise dull and dreary space into an attraction of colour and beauty. This pedestrian tunnel under a road is just wonderfully done and turns a grey concrete structure into eyecandy. Well done to the group of young people that created it and also to the local council that granted permission for it. 👍

On a discovery of minimalist black and white photography where light, form and texture are more important than subject matter.

Abandoned Playground

During winter this playground which is normally a hub of activity with the laughing and shouting of excited children becomes an eerie abandoned place filled with a marked silence. It has its own particular beauty at such times with the contrasts of the colourful playground equipment and the surrounding forested area.
