Well preserved

Not so much the remaining supports of this railway bridge over the Thames, by Blackfriars Station, where you can just see the dome of St. Pauls Cathedral behind,



But the old company crest, saved for posterity on the southern side of the water:

This says it all!

I saw this t-shirt in a shop window. Unfortunately it was shut, so I couldn't buy one.

Superb!

When I saw this last summer I had a smile on my face for ages...one of my favourites!

Art or scrawl?

Some 'graffiti art' is decidly unexceptional, whether in colour, or monotone. But what appeals anout it to me is how quickly it changes. Whether that's faded, covered over by more 'art', or simply 'vandalised' by those who see it as vandalism, and an eyesore itself. Which goes back to the age old question: 'What is art?'. (Or in my case 'What is a photo?' )
