Oh the joy of an empty canvass

Another interest as I ride along the canal bike path is the grafitti to be found - mostly on the supports for bridges that carry traffic over the canal, and are right along side the bike path which mostly goes under said bridges. Sometimes the local graffiti patrol comes along and "beautifies" the cement with a fresh coat of nicely opaque grey paint. Fairly quickly the local art patrol comes along and makes the cement wall cool again. Sometimes these folks just make a mess (in my opinion) but more often that not, the results are very colorful, creative, and a lot better looking than grey painted cement! This bridge carries a big expressway at least 4 stories over our heads as we pedal below. I only wish the graffiti folks had some really portable ladders to make the other 80% of the wall accessible! I fully admit to not being sure what these pieces say, so if it is offensive, I apologize, and ask only that you observe the great colors, shapes, and flow of this work! The bottom 3 images are closer shots of each of the three pieces shown in the first image..... if I did it right, you can click on the bottom three and see much bigger versions!
