Graffiti

I'm very fond of graffiti, and like to take snaps of pieces which I encounter on my rounds. People have been painting on walls for 30,000 years! Makes oil-on-canvas seems like a passing fad...

Sorry, Respect

This is in a narrow alleyway that joins Back Kensington Terrace to Ebberston Place. I took the photo with a Motorola L4 phone, and couldn't focus. The alley is so narrow that I could barely manage to get the whole graffito in the frame.

Mercury or Crucifix?

I spent ages looking at this - it just fascinated me.

I guess it shows which way my perception's slanted, that I saw the Mercury symbol before I saw the Crucifix.

Then I noticed how the cross is emphasized, and that the circle doesn't join the cross at the top. It seems more likely to me now that it's intended as a crucifix, with a graceful halo, and diabolical horns.

I wonder what "HT YC" stands for.

Located on Royal Park Road, on the block of student flats behind the pub. It's about eighteen inches above the ground.

Stencil Face

Located on Ebberston Place, Leeds 6. It's silver paint, which isn't obvious from the photo.

Update: It's been cleaned away. (3 May 2009)
