The richness of the colour 'glamourised' it on occasion. Most evident in this shot which I found very easy on the eye : http://folk.uio.no/danielr/images/040929/pages/IMG_1135.html Graffiti is a big problem in the UK, so much so that the politicians saw votes in a campaign to clamp down on it and a few fine speeches were made on how they were going to clean up our environment. I share JBs' dislike of graffiti. I most definitely did not want to smile at this response on a bus shelter that appeared a couple of days after our Tony lent his weight to the campaign but I couldn't help myself: http://www.geebeephoto.com/Leica_PAW_2002/pages/Week%2049.html --gb
