We pass graffiti every day without a second thought. A lot is just territorial or gossip, but some is quite artistic. Just because it’s ordinary and every day doesn’t mean it’s not worth photographing! This was taken in Lille, France.

This weeks PhotoFriday is “Old Fashioned.” Here is my entry. You really can’t beat Cuba for that retro, old fashioned look, and here is a great example of a 1950’s American car, still apparently in use and in great condition.

This broken branch from a tree in Muir Woods, California looks pretty Rough to me, hence I’m using as this weeks PhotoFriday challenge.

We climbed Mount Sinai at night, our torches illuminating just a few metres around us and the vastness of the surrounding landscape shrouded in darkness. Just after six in the morning the sun started to rise allowing us to see the Beauty of the area. “Beauty,” of course, is this weeks PhotoFriday theme.

I thought I’d go for the double meaning again for this weeks PhotoFriday challenge, “Awful!” In the most common usage it means extremely bad. The weather in the above shot, taken on a December trip to Iceland, was undoubtedly awful.

However, the original meaning of the word was “full of awe” (we tend to use “awesome” these days¹). In this sense, geysirs shooting water high into the sky was an awful sight.

The thumbnail to the left (click to zoom in) was my second choice of picture. The PT Cruiser was a truly awful car.
