While I am certainly no fan of graffiti, there is something about this otherwise nondescript side of a building. It is located in a rather unsavory part of town. Maybe it's the bars on the windows that give it away. I usually go exploring in my Yugo in pursuit of photos for this blog. Occasionally that endeavor involves the other side of the tracks. Neither rain, nor sleet, or the countless people that chased me, shall deter me from my chosen task. Perhaps next week, we will focus on murals in a better part of town. Enjoy your weekend.

WHO ARE MEG AND ESSER, ANYWAY?

I go, you go, we go - for the only surviving Yugo in the U.S.
ReplyDeletehee hee
How have you managed to keep it from self-immolating? One of the things the Yugos did best was their very accurate imitation of Buddhist monks...
Oh.
«Louis» gets it now. The Yugo is your version of the Vachemobile.
Why don't we see if we can trade our Yugo and Vachemobile for one of Chuck Pefley's Vespas?
;-)
Colors Galore!
ReplyDeleteWow... This pattern would make great fabric ;o)

I agree that jazzed-up buildings like this are fun. Sometimes I've even been tempted....:)
ReplyDeleteI will disregard your Yugo remark, since the car is alive and well here! :(
At least you were in the colorful side of the unsavory part of town.
ReplyDeleteLooks nice and colorful, I would say that it brightens the building.
ReplyDeleteI love it. I think of graffitti as art for all.
ReplyDeleteThe only guys who chased me here were the Carabinieri. They canvassed the neighborhood of Ardenza searching for a guy taking pictures of villas, obviously casing targets.
ReplyDeleteAn eager old lady alerted them...
It's very creative with energetic colours in all!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful graffiti!
Have a nice Friday dear friends,
hugs

You tell me and then we'll both know.
ReplyDeleteI kinda like it. MB
What an intrepid blogger you are!
ReplyDeleteThose look like skater tags, but they are actually quite beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYugo huh? I think if someone is chasing you by foot they may catch you.
ReplyDeleteNice graffiti.
I wonder if VP will be able to post in the coming months if he gets chased by cops like that all the time.
ReplyDeleteNow I may not be a graffiti fan at all, I actually think this is quite nice.
It certainly is colorful--sort of abstract art!!! Cool.
ReplyDeleteYes, I can see you now, chugging along in your Yugo, camera in lap, watching your back, snapping on the run! You are such a brave man!
ReplyDeleteAnd all to take a photo of an old building with bars on the window and covered with graffiti!
What a guy!
Heh, heh!
If you ever find out about Meg and Esser let us know!
ReplyDeleteHow nice. Looks like it covered the whole building.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
I love street art and this is fabulous. I can see a few ducks there too. Thanks for showing this. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteCheers.

Now, B, you gotta be safe when you're hunting your next shot, don't be suicidal! BE CAREFUL!
ReplyDeleteYugo where angels fear to tread.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be a "thing" now - graffitify your own building with a mural and the taggers don't tag it (maybe). I saw one done up somewhat like this in an otherwise-Medieval-to-Victorian town in England last week (Banbury).
ReplyDeleteIn the enlarge mode, the quality of this mural is more evident, the textures and detail are great. Its a pity this kind of works remain anonymous and misunderstood. Thanks a lot for your most kind visits and have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteColourful graffiti on bland city walls can be quite attractive...as I think this is.
ReplyDeleteGraffiti makes for some great daily photos, though!
ReplyDeleteI like it! It's vibrant and bright!
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me of certain parts of California.
ReplyDeleteTruly eye-catching! Have a great weekend too.
ReplyDeleteI rather like it myself. We only got rain in Boston. With some flurries. No accumulation of snow.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your thoughts on my blog. I will try to check in and follow you when I can. Your site keeps me laughing and upbeat. fondly, lee
ReplyDeleteKeep that Yugo running in tip top shape, B2, good or bad neighborhood I would hate to find out your roller skate...well, let's not go there...
