Istanbul, Turkey

There was a lot more cool graffiti in Istanbul but somehow this is the only pic I snapped.

I've always enjoyed graffiti. The ever changing feel it gives to an area can add a beautiful quality to otherwise drab buildings and bridges. It can also give you a quick feel for what kinds of feelings and emotions are going on with youth in a city.

While I recognize that this type of art isn't always desirable in the world (and is sometimes put on inappropriate places like historical sights or meant to do damage for nothing but some terrible squiggles on a new building) I can't help but view these temporary pieces of art and try to absorb all I can. I like to take pictures so I can look back and see something I missed the first time I took a peek. These are some of my favorite pieces.
