From one street corner in Richmond VA.

Train Station




Painted on an old piece of plywood covering a broken window on a vacant building. Artist's name to faded to read.


What is it? I don't know but there it is hanging from the underside of an interstate.

[Sober Duck]

A few more.





Scenes like these are all over Richmond hidden within it's modernization.

nice
even the urban environment in yer neck of the woods is kool

like the old decor on th balcony
either old wood
or new plastic
but that krazy sculpture is right where it belongs

[Sober Duck]

Neither wood nor plastic.
Granite or something simular.
The real McCoy.

[jimboloco]

these were not molded, but rather sculpted? wow!

[Sober Duck]

Well the balcony yes but th bulls head may be molded out of plaster or concrete.

[jimboloco]

must have been plastered.

[Sober Duck]

I do all my wandering un-plastered.

beautiful photos, s/duck!
the clock tower is similar to our bus station (before that one of the train stations of the city), the only big difference is the red tejado. Here the train stations and railroads were made by the british at the end of XIX and beggining of XX centuries (with local work, of course...!). Train's traces are all over my city even though the only trains that work here now are the cargo/ones and one slow esporadic to BA since a few years ago. The ferrocarriles finally colapsed in the country in the nineties by the hand of the goverment when they closed hundreads of small stations and terminals all over the country.
Some of the stations and near instalations are now: Museo de la Memoria, Casa del Tango, Casa de la Poesia, Isla de los inventos, Centro de Expresiones Contemporaneas, Centro de la juventud, Museo del ferrocarril, Galpon 11 (used for rock concerts and muestras), Ferias of city's agriculture products, etc.
