Day 72 – Art or Vandalism?

 

Graffiti.  Some call it art others a form of vandalism.  Graffiti has been around since ancient times.  Taking on different forms through the ages.  When Mt Vesuvius erupted, engulfing Pompeii, their graffiti was preserved, and when uncovered thousands of years later.  It gave insight into the street life of the Ancient Rome.  Revealing Latin curses, declarations of love, political slogans, magic spells and literary quotes just to name a few.  I wonder if in thousand years to come how the future generations will look upon our graffiti?
