Graffiti along the river Limmat in Zurich

Dear Friends, I am The Homesick Potter,

This morning the sky was blue, the sun was out, and so was I. It has been mostly overcast since I arrived in Zurich so needless to say it was a treat lapping up some sun. 

I went on my usual morning walk along the river Limmat. Halfway down the path is a sanctioned area for graf artists. The quality, style, technique and imagery varies greatly. The wall, just another canvas for the artists, is a wonderful vehicle for them to express themselves, but also to remember friends by. The artwork changes constantly; it may be political, satirical, rebellious or subversive. But every batch of new artists is keen to make their mark.

Be careful you might 

be watched

but then who give a ... 

More than one way to express yourself

Stay here a while

You will be remembered

One of many

Green eyes watching

Mine as well

  The wall 

For the critics out there: granted some of the work we see here does not fall into the      conventional art form. But  beauty can be found in the most obscure places.
