A common theme for most all urban places is the graffiti art. Sure some walls are littered with curse words, "rude" body parts, or simple scribbles. By adding more pops of color, random words or a stranger, and whatever else the artist can think up, we are left with an amazing piece of art work. The canvas a rusty metal train side or a molding brick wall of an abandoned school.

| Sometimes it's not about the business of an image, but the serene simplicity. This artist if Africa paints his art on abandoned ruins. |
Some may say illegal, ugly, and pointless. Others may envy the beauty others create. However you see it, these abandoned places wouldn't give off the same vibe without the magnificent graffiti.
I love graffiti (the pretty kind, not someone with a pen writing "420" on a toilet seat)! It adds color and character to an otherwise dull place!
