Stavanger is the fourth biggest city in Norway. It is situated on the southwest coast.
My aim is to try to capture something from every day, from the area nearby too, and when I am not at home I will still try to put up a photo from my archive.
Welcome back for another look.

Yesterday I told you about something SMART, today I will show you something NOT so SMART!
Shop owners and people living in the city centre must spend quite a lot of money, as well as time, to get rid of these "messages"!!
Believe it or not, the people who wrote their name in a scrawl on the coliseum walls in Rome during their games and contests, became the modern-looking writing system. In those days, the writing was really made stroke by stroke and the letters were all capitals like those found inscribed on Trajan's column. The slopping writing of those letters, as graffiti, became the foundation hand of the Roman alphabet we use today.
Graffiti?

I guess this would have been a better word to use?

Gunn, if you think you have too much graffiti, como to Lisbon and you will not believe how dirty some parts of the city are!
ReplyDeleteIt's a problem every where I think Gunn, I wonder if 'taggers' scribbled on their walls at home when they were kids!!
ReplyDeleteI see you have your share of ugliness...
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, unless pests are everywhere. I also am against.
