Graffiti Park, just west of downtown Austin, lives up to its name.
There's not an unpainted square inch to be found on the cement terraces that have swallowed Castle Hill. It attracts loungers, creators, and observers. The view of downtown is one of the best in the city, and so it's a favorite spot for enamored couples, too.
Graffiti Park's gritty decay is a photo and art bonanza. There were a half-dozen serious camera toters clambering across the concrete walls on this evening.
The young men in these two pics were filming a music video in the twilight. Wish I could dance like that.
An artist adds a graphic design to lower Graffiti Park while a friend stood by lighting his work with a tiny flashlight. He's taping off the wall to keep a sharp line. It's tedious. The tape was off and back on several times before it was exactly like he wanted it.
I do kinda want that design on a t-shirt.
