This one's for the graffitti challenge on the Odd Bird Planet board for Owl Week. This is a photo I took maybe 6-7 years ago of a mural painted on the side of a building in West Philadelphia, on Market St close to the train station for the El train. In Phila there has been a program in place since the early 80's to paint murals as a way to combat graffitti. There are hundreds of them with new ones added all the time. I think you can even take bus tours to see the murals. Anyway at the time I was working with Phila as my territory and I had this idea that I would bring my camera with me and take pictures of the murals as I found them, but it didn't work out so well because most of the time there just isn't a place to pull over. But when I saw this one with the custom framing/fine art trailer sitting next to it I had to stop. Ant I think I even stood in the middle of the street to get the photo the way I wanted it.
