The writing's on the wall

There isn't much graffiti around here but I found this at Peregian Beach. A pity that the graffiti creator has done this to a charming mural. The mural depicts the typical beach access with fish, a dolphin and a whale frolicking in the Pacific Ocean :-)

Yes, this is the beach access just near the village of Peregian Beach.

A good example of so called "taggers", who are not much of a graffiti artists, but just messing around and not respecting the art made by someone else.

Dommage oui que des salopent le beau travail de quelqu'un d'autre! Je ne comprends pas de tels agissements, ils sont pourtant si nombreux !

A really good choice for the challenge, Gillian.

The original must have been lovely. I thought at first the whole pic looked good, but after reading it's sad that someone couldn't respect the original artwork.

Yes, this is the way I don't like:
somebody creates a mural (a bit kitchy here) - and the next "artist" destroys it by his personal narcisstic tag ...

interesting find, but to me that type of tagging is simply vandalism spoiling the work of others

that mural is fabulous! I never thought about doing that, I was just going for graffiti .. we have loads of murals here in the city. I bet someone here has destroyed them!

This is fabulous Gillian!

The mural is fine, creating a more beautiful look on a stone wall, the graffiti is just grafitti, no difference in style

I agree- what a shame! Some people just have to leave their marks everywhere like dogs,-)

The writing should be on the wall for people who do this, especially to another person's artwork.

The handwriting on the wall in this case dooms the otherwise beautiful mural; well captured image, Gillian ;-)

Love your choice for this week's challenge Gillian. Very nice mural and such a shame that someone had no respect for the artist's work. (I like Gudrun's comment about a dog leaving it's mark)

It is really disturbing when some peeps are destroying in a couple of seconds good work

I agree with Wierd about how thoughtless some people can be. The original mural will have taken hours to conceive and produce whilst the tags will have been added in seconds! :(

Still, it gave you a good choice of subject for the challenge! :)
