What's
this, another moan?
Well it's
like this. Heading over to the Edgeworth
David park for a second visit on Monday afternoon, I was disgusted to find
that most of the great informational boards I had photographed and showed to
you last Thursday, have now been obscured by graffiti.
Not even
half-way decent tagging either. Slash
and destroy stuff.

These
were not frustrated street artists. This
was the original "who gives a fig" type of work. Even if a purpose
built wall had been provided for them, they would have aimed in the opposite
direction. Perhaps I ought to have left
this post for the 31st, as this was mischief and mayhem befitting Hallows e'en!
Every
generation has its rebels and something or other of this sort is going to
occur.
As I
stood in horror at the first vision of destruction, wandering through this
wonderful little area of bush-land I pondered the fact that at least one can
say this; there was no sign of broken glass or empty cans or discarded drug
paraphernalia. There had been no noise or other noticeable misbehaviour in the
neighbourhood over the weekend, when one assumes this took place. This was
likely the work of young minds letting off steam.
It
doesn't explain the single ski which had landed in the stream.
Didn't
waste battery power of the 'Nik' on such
things. Suffice to say it was
disappointing. As saddened as I was
initially, though, it did not spoil my experience of another two hours
peaceably passed and over one hundred more shots to add to my collection! In the ten days since my first exploration
not only the above mentioned had changed the place. Flowers had moved on, the trees also. Some things had passed and new things were
bursting forth.
No prizes
for guessing what tomorrow's post is about!!!
It is sad when you see this sort of thing.
ReplyDeleteMerle........
Oh that is too bad. Just terrible. So disappointing.
ReplyDeleteNo prizes? And I know the answer too! Disappointing to say the least!
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that things get defiled by somebody (ies) that don't have anything better to do.
