Some more of the nicer graffiti i found in the streets of Athens.
This was on the same wall as the last post.


Here is what can be found on wikipedia:

Graffiti (singular: graffito; the plural is used as a
mass noun) is the name for images or lettering
scratched, scrawled, painted or any form of marking on
property that does not belong to the artist. Graffiti
is often regarded by others as unsightly damage or unwanted vandalism.

Graffiti has existed since ancient times, with examples
going back to Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire.
Graffiti can be anything from simple scratch marks to
elaborate wall paintings. In modern times, spray paint
and markers have become the most commonly used
materials. In most countries, defacing property with
graffiti without the property owner's consent is
considered vandalism, which is punishable by law.
Sometimes graffiti is employed to communicate social
and political messages. To some, it is an art form
worthy of display in galleries and exhibitions.
However, the public generally frowns upon "tags" that
deface bus stops, trains, buildings, playgrounds and
other public property.

In Athen war ich noch nie - aber wenn man Bilder von dort gezeigt bekommt haben die Urlauber bestimmt andere Dinge ins Visir genommen - nicht so abstrakte wie Du ;-)
Also kann ich nur sagen - Athen ist interessant und modern, Thorsten hat mir Athen aus einem etwas anderen Blickwinkel gezeigt ;-)
Danke und Gruß

No rest for the wicked indeed!
Especially not if they get caught and have to clean this up :D

I have seen some fascinating examples of graffiti that go back 2000 years and more. I suspect that these won't last that long!

Great composition, colours and details
