December 16 - Honeybourne Santa

old Honeybourne line, Cheltenham

Graffiti in the wrong place is a bad thing, but in this case on an old disused railway bridge which is now part of a public footpath it is doing no harm.
The artist is clearly skilled and it even has the right message. I can’t help liking it even if he is a little mean looking.
The full version was too long to photograph easily

Nikon D300S ,Nikkor 24-85mm f/2.8-4D AF
1/160s f/8.0 at 35.0mm iso200 full exif

I see what you mean. This Santa even looks a little malevolent. :o) Well spotted and recorded. V

Great shot. I am often impressed by the skill of graffiti writers.

this fierce Santa may well have claws...

Mean?! I'd say full-on evil - look at those glowering red eyes and that furrowed brow! I hope the chillblains have been good this year, or else...!

Certainly a bit mean, but great work. Well photographed. v
