“Meow,” said the bridge
Spring’s warm weather was on its own timetable. While it looked warm enough outside, it was a cold, windy day.
I liked Ann Arbor; I’d be willing to go back and look around some more. In my short stay there, I saw some interesting things. Including this graffiti-encrusted railroad bridge, which I think is quite lovely. Plus, it says, “Meow.” How can you NOT like a bridge that meows at you?

PS – This is the 500th post here on One Day | One Image and it seems like a good time to thank everyone who takes the time to stop by, look around, or comment. It’s been fun, and I hope to be around for at least 500 more posts!
PS, part 2: One of my followers (LensScaper, I am looking at you) wondered what this looked like in color. Here at One Day | One Image, we are happy to oblige:

…and it’s a great shot for more than the meow factor! It looks like the tagger actually cared about what he was doing, too.

Thanks – it was well-done. I know it’s vandalism and all, but I like it anyway! Train graffiti something else I like….

There’s only one answer to ‘Meow’ and that is to Purr with delight! (Sorry- terrible pun!). Great jungle of Graffiti – I wonder what it looks like in colour. Congrats on the milestone, Ken.

A much worse pun would have been “That shot is purr-fect.”

The colour shot is a little less dynamic than I hoped it would be – so the conversion was clearly the right approach.

I could have done a bit in Photoshop to make it more dynamic, I guess, but I like the b&w version better. I am sure that comes as quite a surprise to you, since you’ve seen my work…

Black and white gives a much stronger image, in my opinion, but I prefer black and white generally. I also prefer the phrase street art to graffiti but I know its a fine line between the two.

“Street art” has a much better connotation, doesn’t it? As you’ve noticed, I prefer b&w myself. Thanks for the follow, too, by the way!
