Just...wow. I love this. I like how the centered composition is sliiiightly offset by the beer bottle and paint on the wall on the right versus the shadows of the pylons pulling to the left.

What a fabulous shot you took!

i love this quite a bit. the world can be changed with words, not swords.

street art is an awesome way to speak to everyone, for as long as a piece is there, without them getting the chance to ignore your voice..

That stencil may have looked better without the '?', although it may make it look far more MagrittΓ© and sort of lose the meaning...
