Out of paint? Out of money?

Not sure what happened here. Part of this wall of Belgrade's Philological Faculty has been painted and part of the sealed window smoothed over. Run out of paint/money? Nice colors, though! (The graffiti reads "Svi na izbor," which could be translated as "Get out and vote!")

Very interesting capture Bibi! Kind of funny.

Think it's interesting that the white AND the red both stop at the same point. I say this work is being done by someone with a bit of OCD, and they'll be back to finish the job!

Looks like someone changed their mind half way through the job.

Good advice, but you ask an interesting question. Wonder what happened.

Great catch, the sad thing is the damage to that piece of architecture.

That's hilarious. You sure have a great photographic eye. I'm thinking maybe the wall was full of graffiti and they got tired of painting over it and just quit.

The"philological" problem is this: If a wall is only half painted and there's nobody there to see it, is there still a problem?

Sorry, just being silly!

Interesting indeed! It looks like it's has been done purposely though.

Never noticed this! I wonder what they were thinking about. Maybe it is an art piece!

CROSS-CULTURE BREAKFAST

  Have been in India one week. I brought my hostess some ajvar, which she found goes very well on a chapati.
