Graffiti...vandalism or art?

I got out with my camera today, which I've not done for...too long! It was really nice to be taking photos again and thinking about what would make a good picture, what angle to take it from, what to focus on etc. While I was there I took the photos below, and wondered what other people's opinions of this where...is graffiti vandalism or art?





My opinion is that as long as it's not anywhere inappropriate (e.g. road signs, on someone's property) then it's art. It's a way someone can express themselves, their creativity and imagination.

A Very Long Walk!


Yesterday I went for a very long walk with my Uncle. We walked along the old railway line in Truro from Treliske to the River Fal, and back again.We were waling for about 3/4 hours, I can't remember when I last walked that far.


We saw a lot of apples and hazelnuts on trees as well as blackberries just starting to grow.


We also came across this old watchmans house wich someone was using as shelter to sleep.


This walk would've been a lot easier to cycle. As it was an old railway line the path was very level and reminder me of the canal path I've walked down in France.


I think this was meant to be the destination although we did take a small detour.

Random Thoughts

Sometimes I just love to watch and gaze in wonder at the true beauty around me. Stare at the horizon of an endless sea, look over countless fields in the country side, watch animals grazing and birds flying above. See how sunlight falls giving a whole spectrum of colours and leaving shadows where it does not reach. It amazes me how beautiful the world is, leaves me in a state of wonder.
...I guess that's why I love photography, because I want to capture all the beauty I see.
I stopped writing as I turned around and saw this on my bag!
I'm also pretty nosy. I like to sit on the top deck of buses so I can look at other people's houses and gardens. I like to see how other people decorate and what things they have. Weird, right? I love to look and it inspires me as to how I want my house to be (when I have one!) and the things I want to have.
I like to see farms, solar panels on roofs, wind turbines and veg patches. I like the ideas of sustainability and being self-sufficient. I'd love to be able to use 100% renewable energy, grow my own fruit and veg, recycle as much as I can, etc.
