 Came across this on a walk through the country painted on the walls of a Victorian railway bridge. I was at once both irritated by the fact that there was graffiti on this structure and also amazed by the quality of the work, which is more haunting in real life than perhaps this shot suggests

What a lovely, thought provoking picture. It is truly a shame that vandals have to use this for an artistic outlet, but again, the imagery is quite striking. Great clarity and contrast on the photo. I agree with the person who suggested a little cropping off the top (to help bring more focus towards the main drawing.) Definitely an underrated photo. Thanks for sharing!

Jon, fantastic!! I love this, great find, and very haunting paintings. I love graffiti art, although must agree that it is found in some unfortunate places at times...anyway. Great contrast and and I like the composition as is my self, looks great!

Dang. I think it's actually pretty creepy and would've checked over my shoulder if I stood there too long. Great find (sort of?)! (You and your walks, lol)

wish you'd cropped off a bit more at the top ... nice lighting control and good color saturation ...
