a derelict... art - corner!

It's good when derelict and abandoned areas are made to look more attractive by murals like this one. It's not just initials put up there, but some thought has gone into making their signatures look better with shading etc.

These are by famous street artists, commissioned and paid for by the (then new) socialist Madrid authorities, Jenny. I think they were given the space for one year. I think this because exactly one year later they were whitewashed and a new set of artists (local, and I guess unpaid), were allowed to put up new sets of grafitti. Not nearly as good. I didn't take any photos.

Terrific street art and it's good to see it in context Andy. A lovely colourful shot mate!

I meant to save it for a fence Friday but at the last minute I forgot! Another senior moment!

Gabi,
Jenny,
Keith,
Very many thanks!
