I would like to see what you can capture in the way of interesting daubings in the public domain.
Street art or Graffiti.
Make the scene as dramatic as possible by using contrast or other techniques in post-processing. Nothing flat and benign, make it really hum and buzz, innit!

You all know the rules, but just to remind those who are forgetful and for the benefit of any new members joining in:

1. The challenge is just for fun.
2. All images must be taken after the theme is announced.
3. All images must be uploaded by 8pm on Wednesday
4. All uploads must be B&W (or sepia toned)
5. Only one upload per member
6. The person who hosts is the judge for that week challenge and the judge’s decision is final
7. The winner gets to create, run and judge the challenge for the following week
8. Have fun
9. Try not to get caught if creating your own artwork to photograph afterwards...

Well, I've had a scout around for Graffiti and no such luck. Not in the town where we currently live anyway.

I will be driving a bit in the next few days so will keep an eye out.

A shame the challenge theme didn't close after 31st October as the slogan "Boris Bu@@€£ed Britain" is likely to be sprayed on railway station walls. Grin

Just to clarify in case someone is in doubt, the theme includes larger end-of-building murals and graffiti doesn't have to be large...anything will do. The more entrants the better.

Changed my picture for this week.
I was out and about on the Tees river bank north of Middlesbrough and found this area under the access road.
Probably not the best place to be after dark given what was around.

Maybe I should move - I found a few areas presenting opportunities. Just didn't want to stay in them too long. Blush

It's Monday, and that pesky little macro challenge is now history for another week, so time to concentrate on the important issues, and top of the list is this week's b&w challenge, so get you entry in before the polls close on Wed. at 8pm UK time.

This is a tricky one. I need to get somewhere where's there graffiti but i have to work so won't have time. I might get some minor scribbles but haven't seen any of that around either.

I'm having problems with this one too. We don't have a lot of that sort of thing around here - a bit rural, I guess. I have a pic. of one which is a bit rudimentary, but it was the only stuff I could find. Will keep trying, I guess.....

I alighted from a train at the weekend & turned to see some graffiti upon it, but alas too late, it was off before I could even get mobile from the bag!

The final day of this democratic challenge has dawned, and at 8pm UK time exactly, this session will be prorogued, so make sure you join the visual debate that is the b&w challenge and ensure that your vote counts. (That last bit is politicians' waffle - I am the only one with a vote. Just call me Mr. Speaker. ORRRRRDEEEER!)
