Autumn Graffiti

Autumn Graffiti

The autumn leaves on the floor and the tree trunk perform a nice but of colour combination / coordination between mother nature and urban Basford.

I've been down here before, it's a path that runs parallel to the tram line, train line and river lene and this bit is the underside of a bridge carrying the Nottingham ring road over the said lines and rivers.

Some serious post processing in GIMP / G'MIC to boost the colours and contrast to give a surreal feel.

As for the tree trunk. It's part of a diseased elm tree (I think it's an elm) that has been felled by Nottingham City Transport (the tram operator)

Interesting shot and descriptive commentary, Phil. Nicely processed too.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Pat Knowles]

Quite nice coordinating colour....this looks a very interesting place.....graffiti is usually rather threatening but don't feel that here.

[Gena Pegg]

Very cool Phil...lots to take in. Great textures and colors. Nicely spotted.

[Dione Giorgio]

Well spotted. Very colourful and thanks for the info.

[Judith Johnson]

Oh dear what a shame! It looks proper unloved. Love your processing though and the bright colours really must cheer up the area.

[Allison Williams]

A very interesting shot Phil with the bright colors and the tree stump against the texture of the brick. Those graffiti artists definitely help us, don't they?

@allie912 thanks allison, i have mixed feelings about graffiti, it is always vandalism but sometimes it is very artistic

@busylady thanks judith, it is a bit of an unloved area

@sangwann thanks dione, your comments are always appreciated

@gerry thanks gerry, brentford played well yesterday, good football and never dirty

@eyesmile thanks gena, i am pleased you like the shot

@happypat it isn't the most inviting area and I am a little wary when taking this footpath

@kerristephens cheers kerri

@wordpixman many thanks arthur

[Judith Greenwood]

Are you safe down there Phil? That window would merit a close up in its own right.

[Al Bailey]

Lovely graffiti!!! like your processing too :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@willowdragon thanks Al, it was done with your 'fave' bit of editing software (not) ...GIMP :)

@judithg I am a bit wary going down there Judith and pick my moments, although it backs on to a church too and there is usually somebody pottering around in the church grounds to keep an eye on passers by :)
