Graffiti || Art?

The first few graffiti art are in San Carlos, Mexico, on old abandoned buildings. 

 

I find this one interesting because of the Roman numerals for the date.

 

I'm sure the train people are not happy about the artwork that appears on many of the cars here in the southwest.  This one is nice and colorful.

 

 

Somewhere in Nevada at a desolate junction in the desert......

 

 

Even poor trees are subject to abuse.  Most of the graffiti I see are artistic, but this is a totally different category.

 

 

 I found this one in an area that had once been a filming area, so I'm not sure if this is actual graffiti, or something for a movie.

 

 

I'm not sure where this was taken.

 

 

San Carlos | Mexico

 

One of my favorite areas in San Carlos!  The Tetakawi is a landmark and can be seen from most places in town.

I climbed partway up the slope because it was a pretty day and I wanted to get the photo you see at the top of this blog.  The path up is rocky.

The rest of the photos are sea level!

 

 

This little shrine was facing the water in this area.  I'm not sure it was there last winter.

 

At Soggy Peso one evening, we had a fog bank roll in from the Sea of Cortez.

 

 

Within about a half hour, it was mostly gone, except for a few wisps near the peaks of the hills.  Unfortunately, it blocked out the entire sunset!

 

 

It must be the season, since this was another fog bank at another place, different day, just rolling along. 

 

This next shot makes it look like a menacing storm, but it was quite calm.

 

Yes, I know this is graffiti, but there is art in it. 

 

 

In some areas of town, horses wander freely - I found these two on a road close to my neighborhood.

 

 

Sunrise is also a surprise here sometimes - looks like our sunsets.
