Graffiti Rail Road
I intended to go out and get some shots of a particular flowering tree, but it was so windy today that would have been an exercise in futility. So instead I took a drive in the Northeast Art District. There was quite a bit of activity around the few bars in the area, some festival going on, so I took some side streets to avoid the traffic jams. Spotted this railroad bridge across Mississippi and intended to get some shots of the bridge, but instead found it’s base decorated with graffiti.
I’m surprised at the letter reversal to disguise the swear phrase. But then they did something similar on Battlestar Galactica. Apparently it’s acceptable on TV to disguise swear phrases by substituting a couple of letters, so I guess we could consider the graffiti swearing socially acceptable.

That’s the best looking graffiti I have ever seen.
The good thing about HDR is that it changes the scene into something totally unrealistic (in colors sense)
Awesome as usual!

One never knows what one will find under a railroad bridge. Some people just have too damn much time on their hands so they go around scribbling crap on public property.
Your photo is superb.

Amazing crispness and colour. Love the shaft of electric blue peeking out from the rails above.

@ Jacob
This is not just going around “scribbling crap on public property,” This is tagging. It’s an art. If it hurts your feelings, don’t look at it.
