Let me ask you something right at the beginning of this post. If you see graffiti somewhere on the street, do you stop and try to read the words that are made up of those cool letters? Sometimes it is difficult to read those fonts but in the end, we can figure out what the artist wanted to say.
If your answer to my question is positive, then I think you can continue with reading. But it is fine also if you don't really fancy graffiti and you think that carrying on with this post would not be something you would like to do right now. However, I might tell you that there will be a small game if you make it to the end. Hmm, not really a game but another question :D {lol, why so many questions, Mi?}
What is not a question is the place I found these drawings. In a tunnel and on the walls of a ruin.
The location of these two objects is shown in this post. Surrounded by woods, mountains and a lake, a dam that had to be crossed and two tunnels. (My apologies to the admin of this community as this is not street art, but found in nature). We walked there last Sunday (the whole hiking story can be found under the link I left) and we made it until one ruin. There we turned back, but before that, I climbed the small hill from the main path to see the ruins from close.
I spotted the exterior "decoration" already from the distance, but I didn't know I will find some drawings inside the ruins too. But they were not nice ones, those were just low-effort scribbles.
The interior of the ruins was full of collapsed roof tiles, bricks and weeds. There were three small windows and the entrance. I suppose it was just a small shed or a tiny house for weekends, as it was too small to be labelled as a house. But who knows, maybe it was someone's home back in time, but I can't imagine a big family living here.
Anyway, now it is just a ruin. It doesn't matter anymore if it was a home for someone or just a shed, but the exterior walls served for some people as a canvas for graffiti. Not far away from it, I saw another kind of ruin. I can't really say what it would be... the basement for some house that was never built? A reservoir for water? Maybe a playground for MONSTERS? 😂
The ruins were left behind with these questions in my mind and we arrived at the tunnel (that was forbidden to pass through 😁). We did it anyway, our car was on the other side, and I had no intention to sleep in nature without a tent or torch.
Several graffiti on the walls. Just simple words. For example Petar. It can be a male name of Greek origin, which we know means rock or stone.
The next one was Suki. I liked this font and the contrast between the blue and orange fire thing around the word.
Quite a simple font and word. Sur. It means south (if we translate it from Spanish) but it might be also someone's name or just an abbreviation. But I moved on and saw the last one.
The last one stayed an enigma for me. I can recognize some letters here, but I can't figure out what the whole word is. We arrived at my second question for those who wanted to participate :)
Can you read this word? Can you see what is written here? I can't decipher it...
