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

Such a shame that they'd put that door into place Keith before you were able to capture the entire piece for posterity, but still a nice shot. As for a lesson learned, I think we've all made that mistake at some point, I know I have ... time waits for no man (or woman) - lol!

Eine Schande! Die Tür wurde ohne Berücksichtigung des Denkmalschutzes eingebaut ;-)
Du hast recht, Keith! Man sollte nie zu lange warten. Manchmal gibt es nur eine einzige Gelegenheit. Ich mag das Foto trotzdem!
HFF und ein schönes Winterwochenende! Bleib gesund!

Is the property market so expensive in your neck of the woods that folks have to grab every available opportunity? The heart would have been perfect for today, and the message is very apt. :-))
