Tag City


Previously written in Mystrish List (blogger.com)

.Revised edit. October 15,2007 post


While graffiti can be viewed as a form of art as murals, the tagging form is less desirable. Taking a walk for exercise, a breath of fresh air, or relaxing succumbed to the scenery can be trying. The view from The Bluffs at Panorama is not a remarkable one. Below you will find an oil refinery, canal, and almost desert hills in the distance. However, there are a few homesteads with with open arenas where horses roam.


The walk along the path is worth the visit to The Bluffs. It has been renewed in an overgrowth of beautiful landscaping that is very pleasing to both sense of sight and smell. A woodsy, rain scent wafts through the air at given points along your walk from the fragrant flora planted along the path. The sunrise, or sunset gleams over clouds almost close enough to touch. Tall palms line the gravelled walk and whistle in the light breeze. This vision is halted when you come across words written in spray paint. They can be found on benches, under your toes, and sadly even on the rocks and trees. Not a mural. Not a valid message. A vain attempt at marking one's territory over another.
