Who are the villains here?
Is it odd to have a favorite kind of graffiti? Probably.
But, still, I think train-car graffiti is my favorite.
I understand that it’s vandalism. And that probably the only way to paint a train car involves trespassing. But I still like it.
(My dad recently told me, in sort of Stern Dad voice, that I “needed to make sure to stay off the train’s property” when I was shooting. Because no matter how old I am, I’m still his daughter.)

I’m really weird about trespassing. I refuse to do so. It’s not cool. I always ask first. However………….when out in the middle of the desert, if I spot a freight train headed towards me, I WILL get out of the car, walk directly up to the tracks, and shoot it as it goes by. Close enough to get a great shot, but not so close that I’m run over 😉

I am cautious, too. I am pretty sure that I don’t want to get arrested (or shot: this IS Texas!) just for the sake of a picture….!

Synchronised graffiti day? Not on purpose, but kind of fun to find graffiti on your blog today too:) Yours is a great deal more mobile than mine, and villainous too

Great minds, and etc.

This is way different than my boxcar. When I tagged it it read V!LLA!NS. I could never have made it in Texas.

That spelling would have tagged you – so to speak – as an outsider, but we try to be tolerate…..
