Graffiti Days 2

Posted by amy (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 18 November 2007 in Transportation and Portfolio.

And here is the ugly side of graffiti. This is an old caboose in that little ghost town of Rowley. No real message with this graffiti just a need for destruction... which I suppose may be the message? Hmmmm...

Thanks Dimitrios for this amazing theme. I think it made us all think outside the box.

You can view my gallery of images and calendar for sale at: cute but stupid . I'm slowly adding more to the site and if there is something in my portfolio you would like to purchase but is not available on my site just contact me and I'll make it available.

I appreciate all visits and comments and thank you always... ;-)

Oh my goodness!! You know I was thinking about doing something like this too! Kamloops is like a hub for the railway I guess being directly on the Trans Canada. Sooooo many times trains go by with graffiti on the sides. Some very elaborate drawings...

I think young men challenge each other to put graffiti in dangerous places in lieu of having meaningful challenges at times! I agree amy it's been a very interesting project!

Maybe the graffiti artist is thinking, "Why does CP Rail have the right to plaster their message all over and I don't." ......just a thought..... great capture Amy!

I see graffiti like this all the time on passing trains. Once in a blue moon, however, I see one that isn't just scribbling but art. Fine shot Amy!

Gang tags in Canada???!!! Another piece of US culture I could live without. But... the image is good.
I'll add some real US street art from San Francisco in a day or two.

I just put up some of which I'm proud, so it's going to stay front page for a bit.
