Graffiti seen on the Quequechan River Rail Trail

Good Morning all

Recently @silversaver888 shared a Wednesday walk post of a cool mural she had seen in this post
and she said

Technically, this is not street art, which is defined as artwork that is created in a public space, typically without official permission or commission.

which is of course true, but it got me thinking about I do like seeing street art, personally I am not a fan of tagging or tacky graffiti and do not really consider that street art, but in some places the graffiti can be a mix of tagging and what I feel is street art, mini murals or scenes painted in public places without any approval

this was a cool spot in my opinion some cool art in between tags, and of course I do understand some consider the tagging art as well so not saying its not art, well not fully saying that LOL

another part of the walls that really caught my eye

I wasn't going to say it was my favorite of the ones shared in this post, but i guess since I picked this to display as the thumb nail I have made it clear already that it was
