Caught this on a long rake of wagons, it would appear that graffiti has reached new heights! :D

Shortly after taking this I tripped over a wire and went an almighty tosser, nearly stuffing my lens into the field. Luckily the ground broke my fall. ;)

Those taggers have taken graffiti to a whole new level...either that was sitting at a platform or the artists have taken to carrying ladders these days.:D

The only level they should be taken to is the 3rd level of a detention center.

I like it, I think the world could use a little more graffit like this, now gang tags I feel differently about.

Luckily the ground broke my fall. Yeah, it always breaks mine, too! The only level they should be taken to is the 3rd level of a detention center. Book 'em, DanO! :D

Personally I am rather partial to a trip half way to Maui (Hawaii) form LA (California). If they can walk or swim the rest of the way they deserve to have fun any way they want.

Its a great art.... just a shame it isnt as effective on a small canvas.... I think the joy comes from knowing they did it with fairly primitive tools... dexterity and/or acrobatics :)

... Maybe sitting on someones shoulders?

I agree!

I love freight trains and all but let's admit it, they are industrial and ugly and ruin picturesque scenery. But in the city and industrial areas, graf compliments freight trains. It adds a colorfully twisted and chaotic feel to the otherwise depressing rolling iron of the concrete jungle.
