This is found under a railroad trestle in Pawling, NY. It's not the greatest example of graffiti, but the light was just right.

I like the lighting and also like street art. Thanks for the post. :thumbup:

I see this stuff all the time on railroad cars. Is this a word and if so, what language?
Seems to be a waste of talent, why wouldn't they paint something that makes sense?
Oh well, nice shot and I like the play on light and shadow.

Can't make it out either. I suppose it means something to the maker. :)

I love all that crazy art! Have a ton of shots of it, but your rendering of this scene is really neat - especially with the artificial "light"! The talent....! If you travel around railroad yards, it's fascinating to see the talent that some people have and some of it really accents the rail car mystic. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks "Heart". The light is not artificial. It was actually shining through the way I captured it. I first rendered the entire image in mono using NIK Silver, then used a layer mask to bring back some (not all) of the color in the lit area.

Wonderful shot. Love the light. I'm not sure if the questions about the meaning were for real but if they were - I believe these are "tags" which are the "writer's" signature. They are painted again and again by the same person.
