A Reminder

I feel fortunate to live in a vibrant urban area surrounded by beautiful homes, gorgeous towering office buildings, sports venues, museums, art centers and theaters, fabulous restaurants, shops etc. that make for an interesting and energetic lifestyle. And occasionally I see something to remind me that there is another side of life in the city that is far from beautiful. I was a little unsure of this graphic graffiti shot as a post for today. But it's what I saw today that made the biggest impression.
I lived and went to school in Queens County (NYC, NY) and remember these posters all over fences. Nicely photographed.

Such a powerful poster image. Great capture and it does jar you into looking and contemplating the purpose.

This is definitely an image that makes a person wonder. When you go from the wound to the head, to the delicate flowers painted below, it's hard to understand what was going through the mind of the "artist". It's a very powerful image Peggy. Great job.

Ugh--that's just freaky. I would be moving along.... It's a great capture, however.

great shot. it makes you realize how fortunate you are to live where this is not the norm.

It's a shame that people put the efort to put up " art" as graffitti instead of using it in a more acceptable way!
