Phone........M.......(sh w
Yeah, I know.............weirdest title ever!

I took this photo yesterday, but I'd been waiting to take it for about six weeks. The building sits on a busy main road on the approach to Southsea. There are very few places to park and so I kept driving past, thinking I'd could always get the shot next time I was in the area. Yesterday I spotted a parking space. I parked up and walked back a 100 yards or so and to my dismay noticed that the owner had built a door in the wall and ruined the artwork. How inconsiderate! Nevertheless I decided to take the photo anyway. Note to self: Never wait too long to get the shot, it may not be there when you go back :-)))

The wording on this wall used to read "Phone your Mum (she worries)"

Oh well......................

Note: The original artist is "My Dog Sighs". Another example of his (or her) work can be found here: www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/45531378/in/album/385235

I will disagree with you, Keith. The incomplete graffito could be more interesting than the full one - perhaps!

Despite its amputation, it makes a striking picture!
I agree with your thought....once seen, photograph immediately. Things can change in a blink.
