Here is the art. What else would you expect on the shutter of an art gallery?

This is more like it. Patterns and bright, cheerful colours to break up the monotony.

No images here, just tagging and stenciling. The difference in aesthetics could not be clearer.
The white expanse of the hairdressers’ shutter has been broken up; the car-park door, defaced.

Blue Moon
11/05/2012 Filed in: Photography
Not a real blue moon*, or the song, but something blue with the moon in a blue evening sky.
* I was always told that a blue moon was the second full moon in a calendar month. However, there is an older usage to mean the third full moon in a season with four full moons. The idiom ‘once in a blue moon’ means very rarely.

Or is it a horse? A cloud with a mouth over the river Segre in Lleida.
If you like clouds, visit the Cloud Appreciation Society and check out their galleries.
Trapped?

Getting things into perspective

Look at the pictures taken by the cameras they cannot lie
The truth is in what you see - Bruce Foxton (The Jam)
The camera does not lie, it merely distorts the truth in the eye of the observer.
Try looking at things in a new way.
Don’t accept what others say.
Find out for yourself.
Experiment.

Not the novel by Joseph Heller.
It says Martillo rompecristales. Romper el cristal para acceder al martillo.
Literally ‘Glass-breaking hammer. To get hammer break glass’.
The hammer is for breaking the carriage windows, and is probably behind a thin sheet of glass which can be broken easily by an elbow or shoe (I didn’t think it prudent to find out).
