A couple of weeks ago graffiti artists were invited by Wakefield council to use a cycle path/walkway beneath the M1 nr Wakefield. Here are there efforts, impressive work IMHO.

A couple with the fish-eye first.

I think the next few are with the Pentax 28mm prime.

Very Nice. I'm s pleased a council has opted to brighten up the area instead of the usual miserable Council issue Grey concrete that is so depressing.

Well done to Wakefield council !!!!

It is very refreshing to see such vibrant work as this, unfortunately it is in an area that very few people pass through. I would like to see work like this on the grey walls of city center tower blocks.

For some reason I can only see the second image - which is quite beautiful so I'd like to see the others. Maybe it's a 'puter thing and I'll be able to view them on my own kit this evening.

This is a great collection Steve.
Where is this? Was it advertised at all because I didn't know anything about it? so much for the wife working in Wakefield Council!!
