September 29th, 2007 at 4:16 amVery original, there won’t be another quite the same. And it’s really not unpleasant.
September 29th, 2007 at 4:36 amThat is definitely original! The photo is great, but the graffiti itself isn’t terribly attractive, IMO.
My original photo.
September 29th, 2007 at 5:33 amThat’s a great shot for the original theme. I never
September 29th, 2007 at 10:11 amthought of looking for graffiti on the side of a train.
Great take on the theme! our graffiti is more colorful, though :)
September 29th, 2007 at 10:42 amI like your shot. Happy weekend!

The Four Seasons Of My Life I hope You can visit me too. TC
I think some graffiti is so cool!
Thanks for stopping by mine :)
September 30th, 2007 at 12:46 pmI’m so glad that I blogged your spider photos because it was then that I found that you had moved! And if I hadn’t learned you moved, then I would have never seen this. I could spend hours here and I expect to try! Your spiders are now blogged, it is the 2nd post from the top. This train car photo is superb, too. See you in the future!
September 30th, 2007 at 4:57 pmThanks for all the comments, everybody! I appreciate you all stopping by!
September 30th, 2007 at 8:29 pmI love this! I have lots of photos I’ve taken on my walks and hikes of graffiti. I always have myself in the picture, looking as if I was the one doing it. I take it into paint program and paint a brush or spray can in my hand, LOL…
October 1st, 2007 at 1:23 pmSandy – That’s hilarious! It would have been a little dangerous for me to run alongside the train and try to be in the pic ;)
October 1st, 2007 at 3:29 pmIt’s amazing where the graffiti turns up. Very original. Sara from farmingfriends
