Watch your step when entering. "Slippery when wet," comes to mind. I think the Bull is pretty much played out these days but you never know when someone might spray the sign with some Viagra based paint. I bet that would make the Bull stand up and take notice.

The Owd Timer has inspired me with some of his layered background works so I thought I would give it a try. The background texture is considered grunge which is about how I feel these days.

It is a rare find these days Tick because advertising tobacco is prohibited almost everywhere. I like this shot with the light and shadows on the wall. "Good Shit" says the bull here.

Pretty impressive, Tick. I thought it was grunge, and blended in so nicely.

Fabulous work Tick! Cool image. I think that a lot of us are feeling a little 'grungy' these days, but we just keep pluggin' along.

Tick, I like how You've used the shadows in this - very nice presentation. I hope that the bull never gets played out - even in a commercial sign.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Tick - A great find, with excellent post-photo work. The dappled lighting and the subtle textures of the layering work very well here. Thad

You should maybe visit a doctor and get the grunge looked at before it spreads. A good bit of experimental photography, Tick. I like the lighting and shadows in the scene.
