A lot of anger in this.

Somehow you’ve turned this seemingly random scene into something creative. Excellent!

These shots are very meaningful to me because the forts are next to the where the house I grew up in was. We played and hung out as teenagers there. They were always kind of spooky and full of graffiti. More recently the town has turned the forts into a park and it’s less seedy. They cleaned up the graffiti and tried to keep it clean but it keeps coming back. Oddly, I like it better with the graffiti.

unusual subject for you. does the graffiti makes it feel less abandoned and more animate somehow?

When I see the graffiti, even though it is somewhat of an affront to they eyes, I can’t help but feel pulled by the beauty of the human propensity to fill up empty spaces. Blank slate put to purpose other than form.

Interesting. I alway find graffiti interesting. Neat shots.

In some ways, I think it is bad that an important part of history is being violated by graffiti, but in other ways, I do like that it is ‘artwork’, so I am torn with this one…
Thanks for stopping by!

Here’s what my brother Bobby posted about Fort Revere after I posted some of these shots on Facebook:
Fort Revere was called Fort Independence and later named in honor of Paul Revere. It was used to protect Boston Harbor dating from the American Revolution through World War II. Following the decommissioning of the fort in 1947, efforts begun during the United States Bicentennial celebration in 1976 resulted in the fort’s restoration and the installation of amphitheaters within the walls of the disused fortification

Nice pictures! I like graffiti art if done in a right way, but some are just plain vandalism.
