There is something really fascinating about urban art! What is that you say? The answer you never know what you will come across in the middle of no where. This particular piece was in the middle of what used to be a thriving neighborhood. The street has a few houses left here and there but most of them are abandoned.
The house above had been boarded up but as you can see not anymore. The window to the right had a similar painting on it but it was lying in the grass off to the right of the house. I could see from street level there was quite a bit of graffiti on the walls inside.
The best part of urban exploration in search of this type of art is you never know what you will discover. Be safe first and foremost when taking photographs in neighborhoods, be aware of what is going on around you. Just because a house or building is abandoned does not mean it is not occupied.
I have been taking photographs around the City of Detroit for a number of years. It has been an interesting journey!
