Sunday Stills: Graffiti or Street Art

The Sunday Stills Challenge was Graffiti or Street Art.  We rarely have any graffiti around here, we have no train tracks or trains..and not many old buildings..so the art is limited.
Some people did paint this in town. 
I photographed this in Duluth last fall. 

Far Guy and I went scouting all the ramshackle places we could think of where graffiti would be present..with no luck so these photos will have to do.  If I ever get to the big city I will have to take some photos of  graffiti:)

  1. You and Far Guy sound like me and John. We often go searching in the car for a particular photo theme and always seem to come up empty handed! It does give us a goal though!

  2. No graffiti means that your community is healthy. Obviously, no one is bored enough to deface property - that is a very good thing.

  3. Yes, having no graffiti si a good thing, but it is fun to discover neighbourhoods with murals. Nice loon.

  5. The last shot is definitely graffiti. :) We only have one wall painting in our little town, and it's pretty. :)

  6. It's interesting how we all tend to turn our eyes away from the blight of graffiti, instead of looking at them as potential photography subject.

    I do like that second photo very much. ANd the loon mural is beautiful.

  8. The second shot is fabulous. I love the grays and the message the artist was trying to convey.

  13. I love graffiti - and am often surprised to find it out in the midst of wilderness. Maybe you'll have better luck next time!
