this has to be the work of a really smart graffiti writer who's definitely making a statement, although i fail to see why he/she couldn't realize that no matter what statement you're trying to make, this is still vandalism.
this is the side wall of building 10, one of the restored buildings at the Evergreen Brick Works, leading to the children's garden and the ponds. taken during my photo walkabout in the afternoon with @northy
another entry for the get pushed challenge set by @stephanies which was a picture of some graffiti.
thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are truly appreciated.
I'm surprised that a person who knows french could bring himself to graffiti this brick wall even though its already been messed up!
Je crois également!
@annied - no, the first time i was there last year, i inquired about it. i was told it was unauthorized but because it had a message and it looked 'alright' they didn't think about cleaning it off. the buildings are "heritage" buildings but the place is open to the public and anyone could go there anytime they please at their own risk. inside the main atrium where the factory proper was once situated it was full of graffiti but had now faded. part of the complex's history, i suppose. thank you, miss annie.
Kind of tossed up on this. As you mention, it's ultimately vandalism, but the message could have been so much less.....informative. Makes for a great picture, though!
Vandalism? yes - but it does make a great photo - and so much more poignant in French. I did post a response to your challenge - albeit a rather poor one.
Nice and subtle graffiti....like it a lot!! I cannot tell if the upper part of the brick had graffiti removed where the discoloration has occurred, of if that is efflorescence over the years. Great find!!
