Decent weather on Friday had me out and about in my neighbourhood with the Fuji in hand, and just down the road from me is Wardley Colliery, a disused coal mine opened in 1855 and closed down in 1974. It’s now a place for graffiti artists to practice their stuff, and a permanent reminder of the demise of one of the great industries of the North.

Whilst wandering around I came across a young chap and his paint cans, of course taking his photo would not have been OK but he let me take a picture of what he had been doing..
not sure what it says, but then I’m probably too old to understand. 🙂

Chapeau! Awesome photos. I think you and the X-T1 are playing a beautiful melody of outstanding photography. That is exactly my kind of music. Can’t wait for part 2. Keep on rocking, lady. Just listening to U2. I think your images and this music… 😉

Bah, I’m not going to fall in your trick. It’s pretty obvious that you’re the famous graffiti artist “graffitirocking” and you’re just photographing your oeuvre. Just kidding 😉
So many colors, but curiously my favorite one is the portrait of the bicycle corpse, the way you captured it with the light looks like a sculpture.

Hehe graffitirocking indeed, I have no talent with cans of spray paint I’m afraid, thanks for liking the bicycle corpse, I like that one too.

Some really great shots. I love the vibe of some of these old industrial buildings; for some reason rust and decay is really photogenic. Some nice graffiti too.
