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.

Moi, en regardant la photo, j'ai cru que la porte était une vieille cabine téléphonique (Tu te rappelle, c'était dans une autre vie) J'ai trouve celà plutôt amusant.. Quoi qu'il en soit, tu as eu une trés bonne idée de prendre la photo. Amitié. Jean Paul
