Graffiti in green

I love the green graffiti as a choice. Did you photo shop this? How on earth did they paint that with the tree and the ivy growing right through it?

It's such a wonderful mixture of nature and modern art, great choice!!

the shot is as taken, quilly. minimally cropped and a bit of contrast was added but otherwise quite the way it is. ivy grows quickly so it's fair to presume it wasn't there yet when the graffiti was painted (it's not very fresh)

glad you like it, mar, and thank you.

Thanks for the explanation, it's great!

I know we're not really supposed to like graffiti but I do like this. I wish the other "artists" would have left the green alone - with that ivy this would be beautiful.
Thanks for sharing it.

Looks like an artwork ! A real special combination. (like my Arthur with his fake guns, lol)

Graffiti can be fun! And sometimes NOT so fun! Nice choice!

Yes it's very visual and the colors are great. But, I hate graffiti. Unless it's commissioned. I could go on and on but I'll get off my soapbox. Hey, at least you caused a reaction! Nice work and I actually like the composition of this image.

thank you everyone for your visits and comments.

in most cases graffiti are a nuisance but some of them are real works of art.
the city of ljubljana has even sponsored some artists to paint a few underpasses with graffiti.
