A vacant building near the Gowanus Canal (Brooklyn). 
Downtown Brooklyn in the distance in the lower image, which has the canal in the foreground. All of this area flooded during Sandy.

Razor Wire and Graffiti
Adjacent to the 8th Ave. Park is a scrapyard that is protected by fencing, razor wire, guard dogs, cameras, etc. My bank should have this much security!
Midweek Graffiti Posting
Nothing like a spot of graffiti to spark the midweek doldrums.
“Peace, have a good day”. I keep thinking that one day I will run across a bit of wisdom displayed in someone’s well thought out graffiti or street art. Not something as vague as: ” the end is near’. But, rather, just a tidbit of something that shows me some insight and mental prowess; something I can take with me to ponder over. So far,
no such luck.
I’ll be looking, though. I don’t understand the “3.7” in the first image. I would understand: 3.14, pi as a universally understood mathematical statement, but……3.7?
Kaos and more from the Interurban
The rollerblader reminded me of a song by Dire Straits, with a title something like “Skateaway”. Seeing all of those bucket lifts in one place reminded me of the herding instinct. I guess it makes good advertising sense to leave them in a position that can be seen from a distance.
Along the Interurban Trail
More sights along the Interurban Trail. An old fishing shack, rusty pedestrian bridge and the usual touch of graffiti by SKAMR.
Grafitti Scribbles
What would an urban trail be without scribblings and doodlings on most overpasses ( or flat surfaces in general )? Perhaps visually more appealing.
More from the Green River Trail
Of course, what would any urban trail be without graffiti and generally poorly placed street art? The pilings in the second photo are from days gone by when there was a lot of river traffic and commerce.
Along the Tracks
Graffiti peering out between rail cars. Containers, double-stacked, along the rail lines in Georgetown, adjacent to I-5.
PSA?
Public Service Announcement by a culturally concerned street artist, no doubt.
Downriver
Down river, the Willamette does seem large and powerful. You can see two bridges in the background. Love all of the bridges connecting different parts of Portlandia.
Radioactive?
Radioactive(?) graffiti on the side of a building in Georgetown. I don’t think I can decode this piece.
Post Grafitti
It’s possible that the original grafitti in this spot was more appealing to look at than this remedy.
It Spells….
Taco, I believe.
