For once you could actually get near the wall. So here are a few shots!

I've been to Prague a few times and had no idea this was here. I find photographs of graffiti often had bold colours and interesting textures. I also think it is an underrated art form as well (if you ignore tagging).

Welcome back, Pete.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing these. I've been wondering for visits to Prag and Budapest.

Nicely done! I love Prague. First visited while backpacking around Europe in Feb of '92. Loved it so much, I decided to rent an apartment there and spent a month or so. I even wrote some articles for a little expat rag to get some pocket money. Ah, the memories! I also went to Budapest around that same time. A very nice city... perhaps even more cosmopolitan than Prague, but not as charming or as much fun. At least back then.

The Lennon Wall is ace and you only have to leave it a few months between visits for it to totally change!

I'll dig out some I took a few years back

Never heard of it before. Looks very interesting!

Very nice, Pete.

I love graffiti & have snapped a few shots around Nottingham. It's living art IMO, sometimes it's sad to see them go, but in the same breathe, really nice to see something new over the top!

So vibrant and intense Pete - wonderful
