Pete's Mutant Dragon?

Pete's Mutant Dragon? : Graffiti on an overpass : Conches, CH

We arrived a bit early for lunch with friends. Rather than show up sooner than planned, we decided to take a walk through their neighborhood. They live on a dead-end street, so we followed a footpath and came upon some very colorful graffiti.

LOVE LOVE LOVE (Prague)...

Love Love Love : Lennon Wall : Prague, CZ

Imagine No. 1 : Lennon Wall : Prague, CZ

Not too far from the Charles Bridge is what is known as the Lennon Wall. Named for the late John Lennon of The Beatles fame, the wall is covered in graffiti, poetry, love notes, and wishes for peace and freedom. These are just a few pictures.

2 Things Challenge: Ugly / Pretty

 Urban tagging... ugly or pretty? : Martigny, CH

This week's 2 Things Challenge is Ugly / Pretty. I snapped these photos in Martigny, Switzerland, last Sunday. I liked the juxtaposition of the beauty of the Alps and the ambiguity of urban tagging.

toilettes

Is the writer asking us to delete the word "toilettes"? And if we do, will the toilettes then cease to exist? : Ferney-Voltaire, FR

We went walking through the municipal park in Ferney the other day and the combination of stonework, graffiti, light, and shadows on the side of the public toilet struck me. Anyone who speaks French know what the graffiti says? I have no clue. I thought it spelled "caze", but maybe it's "cage"? (Note to the Ferney Department of Public Works: the toilet needs to be cleaned. Badly. And what's up with the French not leaving toilet seats on their public toilets? I suppose I shouldn't rant too much, though. At least this public toilet had a real toilet and was not a Turkish toilet.)
