Hi Martin, Much as I dislike "Taggers" that disfigure public places with graffiti, I've got to admit that some of them are truely artistic, and these shots demonstrate that quite well. The fifth shot looks like a very well done hand painted portrait. Nice captures.

Cool Re: Graffiti
they are really good.
very nice shots of the wonderful work
I wish we could read what they say (in the first few shots)

this kind of graffiti (artistic) is allowed in many places today.
I imagine it must be supervised in some ways.

I tried deciphering them, I'm usually pretty good, but no luck. Nice shots, I love artistic graffiti like this. Mostly around my area, its just trash graffiti, "messages" and such. I posted my shot at one a while ago, no responses :-p. Great job.
