Neat theme thought up by Dimitrois - and you have an outstanding example of graffiti in this shot! Blues, purples and greens - all great colors!

The summer of 95! This is such a sweet community mural - it has the Michelangelo touch!

A great find here Lorraine, a happy and joyful piece of art, I love the way the different sections of the picture have weathered unevenly.

@MaryB: Thanks a lot MaryB and I swear there is graffiti, here and there but not as noticeable as if it would have been drawn on a blank space :)
@badala: Thanks a lot Badala :)
@Hans: Thanks so much Hans :)

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
Love the patina of this one, I'm guessing this graffiti has been around for some years.

This kind of graffiti I can deal with a bit better.... Beautifully captured Lorraine. And Richard's right.. the patina of this graffiti is wonderful.
