THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: WAITING
If you expected to hear something smart about ideas for today’s theme you are at loss here. It is WAITING, plain and simple waiting that can be interpreted in a number of ways.
I found this graffiti practically at my doorstep and could not help posting it.
Have a great Thursday!

What an elegant wall! Sometimes, the art we see in graffiti would look good hung on my living room wall! Beautiful.

Oh I love that piece of street art. Lovely little details in the building and train, and what is the man thinking? He doesn’t look cheerful.
Now I’m waiting for a bit of inspiration for a post to respond to your theme!

Hi Paula, I really like your picture – especially the way you integrated the green on the right side. This detail tells a lot of the story (in my eyes). Brilliant!

It is the mural artist that integrated it; I just snapped. And yes, I agree with you – find it genius – that made me snap.

Is it Thursday? It feels like Friday except that it is not and that the torture continues … to work or not to work – not much choice in the matter. Looking forward to opening that link 🙂 🙂 🙂
