A bit of an urban one for you today.
I saw this and had to photograph it, I kept thinking, "someone really must love life to spray that on the wall of a dark, dank, spooky and to be honest miserable car park in the middle of Sunderland". This car park is security patrolled so they had to do it late at night.
I can only think it is an instruction to visitors of the car park as the thoughtful person must have watched people parking their cars and noticed how depressed everyone looked, they then wrote this in the hope that a few smiles would appear. I must admit it made me smile, then came the thoughts of, "how much is it going to cost of my council tax to remove that". This made the smile turn to a frown as the misery syndrome came over me.
I still find it inspirational to look at and have got over my grumpiness towards the cleaning costs. It always bring a smile to my face and gives me thoughts of how lucky I have been to live the life I have.
This image always reminds me that even at the darkest moments of my life I have eventually come out into the light as I did when I left the darkness of the car park. No matter how difficult life seems, there is always something good just around the next corner for everyone, you just need to hang on until the bumpy road of life arrives at that corner.
I hope you like it, as always your comments are very welcome and much appreciated.

It is a very positive message, Andy, and so is your commentary.

Quite apart from the wonderful message (all the more wonderful for its situation), V1 is a superb composition, all that tension in the lines and angles, tugging in all directions.
