Street Light in the News

By fentiger    
I was down by the river at Ely on does and saw this street light covered in newspaper. The house that it was standing by was being re-painted.

Modern art, it will be in the Tate soon, if they can fit it in, great shot most people just splash the paint all over them, great spot.

Curious, but definitely modern art. I wonder if they protect the house wall with newspaper when painting the lamp post Smile

A tall street light here Albert. A nice job they have made of the paintwork too.The bleeding sods !!! I bet it was all peeling and flaking before they got their hands on it !!

Most wouldn't bother. Do you think that in the time it took to wrap the newspaper round the lamp-post, the painting behind it could have been carefully done even quicker, just a thought.
