Given that this photo isn't in focus either, it seems a good picture to post today. Fortunately the internet is forgiving and you're only likely to notice because I mention it. Either way it's a cheerful way to indicate a bleak mood.
Hello Pat. I've wondered if the 'We are Dismal' notice refers to something we don't know about . . like a play or something . . but I've not come across them elsewhere. And it must have been pre-prepared. It's a notice with intent. These glimpses into other people's lives are odd. We can see there must be a reason but we don't know what it is or how much it matters. I'm glad you commented because you are the person I associate most with graffiti - the graffiti you find in the desert are so much out of place you must have thought a lot about why people put them there - something about their inner selves as well as well as being annoyed that they messed up the rocks. And when I see your photographs, I'm always confronted by the challenge of distinguishing between the motives of ancient peoples who carved drawings and people who turn up with spray paint.

I can only imagine how the person felt that stenciled that up there. Hope things improve soon...
