Railroad trestle wisdom

On the Colorado River, this railroad trestle (bridge) was a popular graffiti canvas. So it was at least 20' above the river, I just can't imagine being able to hang over the side (and worry about oncoming trains) or rig some kind of tall ladder in a boat (and keep the boat still) while painting their bits of wisdom for all the world to see!

Wow that is some achievement ! There aint no way you would get me up here!

Graffiti artists are very persistent ... and many times, very, very good. It is a shame they can't use their skills for a better use.

I love graffiti and I'm a grandma! I think it is a method of expression for those who might not have another way. I do recognize some graffiti is inappropriate in placement. This example I love, especially the "Never Give Up." Well captured, Lou Ann. Also, thank you for following my Alaska photos - much appreciated!

Very determined graffiti artists. Skills of an acrobat too from the looks of it.

[Babs]

Well spotted.

I would love to have seen them in action - can't visualize how you could do this in that spot! Good thought though in his expression.

[Valerie Chesney]

Great capture& good sentiment...I cannot imagine how they can do this either....

[Taffy]

Great graffiti!

[Gayle]

Terrific shot and I love the 'Never Give Up' message in the graffiti! I always wonder how in the world they do their painting in locations like this one...or on busy freeway overpasses/bridges with no sidewalks. How do they do it??? :-)

I often wonder how they get up to places that are so high! FAV

Thank you so much for your great comments and favs! My son's very first video game was Pac Man, this railroad trestle sure brought that memory fresh into my mind! You know the "rest of the story" is that this graffiti has to be done at night, it is totally illegal to touch railroad trestles! I was so intrigued with how in the world they could do it!

@365karly1 I loved your Alaska trip! It was amazing!

[Nicole Campbell]

Very true words indeed

[Ann H. LeFevre]

They must be very familiar with the train schedule! Great catch.

[Louis A. Sousa]

Love it. PacMan too!
