Ok, another walk-by one since that seems to be the mood here lately. This one is related to this and answers a question that everyone (ok, Duncan) was curious about when I posted it. After this, I'm going back to public transportation for awhile.
Also, for everyone who was clambering for it (again, this means Duncan), I've posted high-resolution images from the unsuccessful voyeur series a few days back.

@jc: I think you're right about that. Wouldn't stand too close... Thanks, John!
Hmm nice image, but for the "SAKE" of whom were they doing graffiti?

@Srinivas Koduri: Excellent question. Looks like it was for the sake of the Am3 community. Thanks, Srinivas!
なにが描かれているのかわかりませ〜ん・・・でも、おもしろいです！

@Makoto: ありがとうございますまことさん！ I can't really figure out what the grafitti wants to say. But I can tell you that in the image of the bomb, there are the initials B.F.G. which is/was the name of a well-known Toronto punk band from the 80s and beyond who had their headquarters near here. I probably should have called this image BFG in their honour.
Shame that it's such and eyesore. Great urban image, but such a sad commentary. I think it would be so depressing to live among such decay and add to it all the graffiti, just seems depressing.

@Laurie: I suppose you're right, Laurie, however I will point out that this area is kind of bohemian and not nearly as run-down as this scene would imply. But no, I'm not a fan of this kind of mindless urban scrawl. Thanks for your comment!
I'm amazed that you found graffiti in Japan. I'll bet japan has only one tenth the graffiti that we have in the US. Or, maybe things have changed:0) Anyhow, good work!

@Craiger: Um, check the location, Craiger... It's Toronto which used to be called Toronto the Good and Toronto the Clean... Actually, from what a friend tells me Saõ Paulo, Brazil is about the most grafitti-covered city around.
we seem to be on the same wavelength again ;) great urban take Damon. It looks a right mess.

@Duncan Galbraith: Thanks, Duncan! I take it all in stride. How's your trans-oceanic mega project percolating?
Agreed with Duncan, very nicely executed, the urban feel of this is well captured. It's gritty, lonely, and yet still poetic in a sense. I also am a fan of the geometry here.

@Paul Ricciardi: Thanks a lot, Paul! I think you're right. It's an ugly mess, and yet... there's a certain something about it.
Interesting urban shot! A lot of texture and the young silhouette gives a "perfume" of childhood !

@Still: Thank you, Still! I like texture.
Nice shot of Urban decay .It really does have a desperate feel about it. A sad but true reflection of what's going on around the world !

That "sake" dude/group is in Montreal too. Wassup? Great shot.

@Craig Persel: Interesting... Yeah, what is with these people? Thanks, Craig!
