graffiti
buried treasure
this made me chuckle.
i won’t tell you where it is though in case you go and dig it up.
a relation ?
this was quite near this
this is still not a photo opportunity
without the street light this is even less of a photo opportunity than it was last time
it’s a banksy
i nearly didn’t spot this banksy work on this telephone box as it was on the inside of the glass and didn’t show up very well. it was only with this long-ish exposure that it became apparent.
the wording on the monkey says “new catalog is out now”. the ‘get drunk & disorderly, get arrested, get an £80 fine” is a home office advert and isn’t graffiti !
busted by the ticket man
there’s something quite funny about this pen scrawled graffit on my train. we need some legal wipe-clean area on our trains where people can graffiti rather than doing it on the seat backs.
thug for life
click on the pictures to see the big versions as they are worth studying in detail
(it’s a genuine banksy)
the monument
The Monument is one of those funny places which people just forget about. i had a meeitng a few minutes walk from it and i was a bit early so i paid my £2 and went in
there’s 311 steps on the cantilevered stone staircase which seemed to go on forever
right at the top of the Monument is a drum and a copper urn from which flames emerged, symbolising the Great Fire. The whole thing is 202 feet high – the exact distance between it and the site in Pudding Lane where the Great fire of London began on 2 Sept 1666. The Monument was built to commemorate the Great Fire of London and to celebrate the rebuilding of the city.
thanks to 300+ years of public access the viewing platform is covered in graffiti
of course the thing that once stood high above the city is now lost amongst the taller building around it, like the new gherkin building
but there’s still a fine view of Tower Bridge and the river
kim ruined it
fantastic giant writting in the sand. i walked along it slowly working out what each letter was. it eventually said “kim ruined it”. which is nice.
