Engelbecken, Kreuzberg, Berlin
Freshly sprayed graffiti interacts (probably inadvertently) with the plants that had claimed the wall first. Red and gold leaves have been masked with black, but others have been memorialized in green: they blocked the new silver paint from hitting its target, leaving bits of the earlier green paint in perfectly leaf-shaped patterns. A welcome bit of subtlety and detail in a piece of painting that would otherwise be monotone and boring.

How lovely to have you noticing such things!
this photo reminds me how i collected silver spray painted ivy leaves in a park recently with fresh graffiti work on the wall where the ivy was growing.
Graffitti Ivy… that’s so “Berlin”!
