Thanks to Dimitrios for this fascinating challenge, which sent me into the drains under our roads to see the work of the graffiti artists. Some of it glowed! I fear I feel a series coming on!!
@Amir: Whoever made it has great skill Amir!

Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
It looks almost animated...Great Find Duchess, and here I expected a crown or something LOL

@Lorraine: My crown's at the dry cleaner's LL!! Even duchesses go down into the drains if challenged :)))
Organik from Australia
Awesome find Bron! I think I travel in on the wrong side of Melb. to the hospital. All I could find was ugly scribble. lol
The colours in this are magnificent!

@Organik: I like your pic OM - at least it has a message - Canberrans have run out of words! (too many are said up on the hill) LOL
How's Brent going now?
Craiger from Vacaville, California, United States
Now the guy that did this really had something to say. Too bad I can't figure out what it is. Great find!

@Craiger: We live in the political capital of Oz Craiger - we turn to underground art to escape the false words I think LOL
@Me 2: THANKS!!
Sidonie from Sydney, Australia
Hi Bron! We haven't met! I went to Sydney for my pics for this weekend, but I hang out in Canberra mostly. This looks like it could be down by the Woden creekbed - ?? They do a great job along that wall.
17 Nov 2007 10:17am
@Sidonie: Hi Sidonie! Good to meet you :)) Good guess but it's closer to Civic - it's under Barry drive in the drains near Sullivan's Creek at ANU!
I'll have to go and check out the Woden wall! I've also seen some amazing bright red work on the beginning of the federal highway (on the left) just as you leave for Sydney
MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom
Wow! that's amazing so colourful and vibrant. Although not a fan of graffiti, I much prefer this to just the usual run of the mill scribble.
17 Nov 2007 10:32am
@MaryB: I agree Mary! At least this is skilledful!
@badala: Thanks dear badala!

This is art... I admit it and that's why I'm so torn about graffiti. Fantastic capture Bron!! So glad you went into the drains for this!!! How long was your shower when you got home?? LOL

Weekend Warrior( LV) from Kamloops, Canada
Wonderfully caught!!! I wonder if your artist and mine are related!!!

@Damon Schreiber: I think they're tags Damon - an individual signature to show your powers of design - no meaning in the usual sense!
Rabbit from Richmond, United States
Ahhh so fun and sparkley (dont' really know if thats a word or how to spell it)- - Hummm i'm with Damon in what the heck does that say?
18 Nov 2007 5:35am
@Rabbit: I think that tags are like a signature each artist is recognised by those who are "in" by his/her tag. The message I believe is only that in the competition for the best tag - I win!!
Sparkley is good :))
Helen from Melbourne, Australia
Yeah. I know what you mean! I have succumbed. Startling tag Bron, great clarity.

@Helen: Thanks Helen it's a great source of material on the underbelly of Canberra haha!
Ken McCoy from Orlando-Daytona Beach, FL, United States
