It’s great that you got to capture all of these before they were gone so they can still be enjoyed.
I agree, and unfortunately thee are a few more I can add to the list now!
Ah – I see … it’s interesting (heartening?) that your RIP wall is so small 🙂
I agree, although there are a few more to post1 🙂
Oh, so sad. And yet, you captured them! They will always live here..
xoxoxo
Yes, they will live here! xoxoxo
Too bad!
I know, but it’s the way of outdoor art!
😦 sad
I know, but that’s what happens outside because the art is unprotected.
Happily, I’ve documented some here, and new pieces get painted every day!! 🙂 🙂
Yes then they can stay works of ART! 🙂
🙂 🙂 🙂
XO
🙂
Yeah that’s the cruel world out there – but they will live here… 🙂
🙂 Yes, they have a home here! “lol” At first I collected stray cats. Now I collect stray art! 🙂
Great that you have preserved these evanescent works!
Thank you! I’m sure this will page will grow at a steady rate!
This is what the google street art project is all about, saving a preserving art that is either painted over or lost in time. Thanks for keeping this alive!
Your welcome! I have more R.I.P. posts to add, but some haven’t even been a regular post on GLaM yet. That’s how fast the art can vanish!
It’s Great photos ~love it ^^
Have a nice weekend ~
Thank you!
I couldn’t of brought myself to destroy ‘Alien alley cat’ 🙂
I know!!! I met the artist painting over his own work…”Kwest”! He said the wall was crumbling and he had to. Broke my heart! 🙂
Such a shame, 😦 Thank goodness you have documented and preserved them forever.
Such is the way of outdoor art. I’m glad I’ve been able to document some of it. 🙂
Thanks for having a look, Elizabeth!
Reminds me of the time I watched several Buddhist Monks create a sand mandala for peace and then, at the end of a week, they blew it off into the aethers. It was magnificent, yet they were illustrating that nothing lasts forever. But I just can’t get my mind around that, especially when the Egyptian pyramids are still thrilling people after centuries. I’m glad you were able to document these wonderful paintings!
Thank you!
You know, it could take thousands of years more, but the pyramids could be gone.
Also, horrific people such as Daesh could destroy them.
We live in an odd world, and we must fill it with all the good we can. Much love to you!
Here’s a pingback to my page. I was moved to adapt a poem I wrote several years ago and have pingbacked to your page! https://poeturja.wordpress.com/2017/06/13/impermanence-2/
So good that you have these picture for others to love the artwork too
Thank you so much! I have a lot to add when time allows!
Resa, how sad that none of these exist any more but at least they’re captured here! Some should be in a museum … just amazing!
Unforunately, I have more to add, but I just need more time!
Great you got them recorded before they were painted over. I have a lot of photos of architecture and things that no longer exist.
Things change. It’s wonderful to be able to record that change. Now, I am reminded that I have a lot of catch up to do in this RIP section!
