Defaced

I took this in October just down the road from the barn in yesterday's main album shot. I don't mind graffiti artists who have permission to paint murals on buildings but this type of defacement scrawled across old barns and buildings always annoys me.
You made a wonderful composition with it.

Great, so many colors & textures

Nice contrast of graffiti and the lovely green leaves

I so agree with you about random, defacing graffiti.

I tend to agree with you but you can't be totally upset with someone wh wrote "mom"!
Your photo is composed beautifully with the color , texture, and greenery combining to make it a work of art! FAV

Oh dear I am a big fan of street art but tagging like this is just so destructive

This tagging angers me, it’s just destruction. Nice textures in this shot

I do agree with you - find this to be defacing other people's property - even if it's been abandoned. This think frustrates me more than I like to say.

I too am with you there, It annoys me no end. Nice textures you found.

Sad to see, but great photo!

I agree completely with you Ann - out of place and out of order. :)

I hate this kind of thing
November 28th, 2020  
I do agree with you.
November 28th, 2020  
I agree about the graffiti. But I still like the textures and contrasts of this shot.

Thank you Corinne, Alexandra, Amy, Lou Ann, Katy, Babs, Milanie, Diana, Kathy, Dorre, Rob, Joan, Haskar and Diane!

@grammyn Those are the initials M D M (it's printed in a couple other places too- but you're right it almost looks like mom here).

@joansmor We photographed this barn on your last visit. The graffiti wasn't there then. )o; Not happy it's there now.

@milaniet This barn is in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area park. Although it's not in use anymore, technically it's protected property. Unfortunately there is not enough manpower or resources to monitor these places.

Gekken en dwazen schrijven hun naam op muren en glazen. ( Dutch proverb. = +/- Only fools and idiots write there names on walls and glasswindows.)

@pyrrhula Thank you Ferry- excellent proverb! I will have to write that one down somewhere!

@olivetreeann LOL just call me Pollyanna!

Agree with you Ann, this is not art, but vandalism
Though you turned it into a beautiful artpiece with composition and colours
fav

@ninaganci Thank you Nina and thank you for the fav!

Even if we broaden the definition of art this doesn't even come close. Vandalism pure and simple!

@joysabin Thanks Joy- no argument from me on that!
