Weekend Snapshot: Urban Mind

This is one of several photos I took at a remote brown field in New York State. This piece speaks to me of urban life, of ultimate solitude, and of chaos. Of course, the paint ball hit reminds me not to take any of this too seriously! (Note: No private property was harmed in the making of this graffito.) See more of these walls here.

    It's fun to gaze at that while listening to Pachelbel. I'd rename the song "Cannon" in view of my Navy gunnery background...

  22. Love it! If only this talent could be captured and referred to canvas! But then, I suppose it would loose a bit of its mystery!
    Thanks for continuing to support my blog while I've been busy around the corner! lol

  23. The shot does not destroy the wall but it gives it more beauty and recognition. Without it, its just a wall but with it, becomes art.

    Happy WS, Sandy

    It actually looks good. Most of the graffiti I see is names and stuff. This actually looks like art. (except the paint ball hits)
