This is one of a series of six painted panels in Clifton, York, along an alley close to the Clifton bingo hall, which is beside the main road from Clifton into York city centre.
There have been paintings along this alley for quite a few years - in fact an earlier series of images of hands was featured in my original solo 365 project in February 2013 - http://365project.org/if1/365/2013-02-26
I know nothing about the artist for the current images, but they are apparently replaced at regular intervals. I'm going to keep an eye on this alley in future!
Thank you all for your comments and favs, which put this shot on the Popular Page.
Looking again at this shot and the others in the series, they remind me of iron filings in a magnetic field.
