The rust and the ragwort

graffiti and thistles on the tow path in Hebden Bridge

Two walks along the canal and the cycle path and look at all the beauty we found...

Did the graffiti artist know exactly what flowers would grow in front of their work and choose their colours accordingly?

That yellow certainly makes it POP!

And the thistledown added some extra pattern into the mix.

A gritty mix of old graffiti, moss, weeds and rust. Nature is taking over.

We noticed the shadows too,

It's good to be able to find beauty in the wild and weedy edges, in the rust and the ragwort, the shadows and the spray paint.

It's never far away when you know how to look.
