Graffitti Wall Melbourne Australia
« on: July 28, 2014, 02:34:22 »
Was a beautiful cold but sunny winters day.  Put the top down and took the car for a 100km spin and got a couple of photos at a graffiti wall.

Garry,
great idea for an enhancing background. Hope this is not your way to tell us that you will leave your car with graffiti guys for the next respray. ;D
Just in case, do not park there too often...

Garry,

Where did you take that photo?  Looks like a small cobblestone street off Chapel St South Yarra, Prahran, some place in Collingwood or perhaps even somewhere in the CBD?  

Today was one of the nicest winter days, a little bit breezy but clear throughout with a top temperature of 17 degrees C.......Just shy of a month away from Spring BTW!

The car looks like part of the artwork :)

Stan,
The car had been parked in a paint shop just behind the grafittied wall ‘for nearly four weeks!!!
Yem,
It is in a lane that runs beside the light rail in South Melbourne.  That is only a small part of it and they change it every few months. 

Thanks for compliments.

Garry,

Downtown Toronto there is a collection of graffiti walls, one might call it "Mother of all Graffiti Walls" Rick Mercier has a TV show and broadcasts his weekly rant there .....
