music and graffiti

in #music2 years ago

my bicycle decided to have a hub breakdown yesterday... ensuring i had a long walk home from the ocean. the price of a new wheel is 53% of the price i paid for the entire bike ...


bicycle race - queen

so today i decided to head down to the 'cultural' part of the town near the harbor and see if i could find a second hand bicycle shop to try secure a second hand wheel.

no, this is not a selfie!!

i ended up in some interesting places... no success on the bike front .. but plenty exercise and some great art ...

can you spot me in that pic?

i came across a long wall in a very run down part of the town covered in graffiti ... i cannot resist taking pics... so now you need to enjoy them with me. i have saved the best one for last...

touch me - the doors

a really great song from my childhood.... gooseflesh when i hear it ... and strong adolescence memories... crank it up

i call this one matrix revisited... but the question really is....the spray can....is it red? or is it blue?

thanks for stopping by, i hope you enjoyed the music.... the music is always (damn, i need caps) the message. stay safe, stay free and remember to love the one you are with

That was fun to read, listen 😉 and remember!

thank you for stopping by and the comment. it was fun doing ....

I DID enjoy the music mister without a working bicycle trying to get a selfie in an art wall which turned out to be more a blur to me than anything else! :) Golden Earring, Dutchies. Rock, yes, but a song I listen to quite often back in the days. Doors, Queen... Also on my radar back in the days, mucho on my radar. You see? More music we have in common ;)

You seem to like the more 'aggressive' artistic impressions when going through the subs to the art pics. Thinking not so out loud but in writing {does this tell something about this guy, from our southern hemisphere, stuck in this country with a strange singing language, looking for wheels?}

Spray can: Regardless the colour, it seems to be full of Juice... At least that is what it tries to tell us in words ;)

i very seldom upvote comments but this in depth comprehensive response deserves one. bravo, and thanks for actually reading my hyperbole.... even if it is just piffle {grin}

You made me smile a lot when digesting your post 💯 Piffle is soooo 2022 😉
Thanks for the comment vote; Especially since this is such an exception for you 🙇

Sorry about the wheel … nice graffiti but the music is the bomb!!

Well said.... the music is always the bomb .... thanks for stopping by... and i really think you should be more active on here....

grafitti part 2 on its way.... busy now

Unfortunate about the bike 😬 hope you have better luck finding bike stuff the next time you look. Meanwhile the street art was a nice find, hope that made up for the lack of bike stuff at that point.

it was indeed a fine find. there are some decent murals i know of which i have not yet been able to get to to photograph
