Down at the Peel basin the ice fog created an eerie glow penetrated by the orange-yellow light from a lamp. The bike path runs under these bridges, and in the background is the new graffiti by SLUK, a massive piece up on the new Maltage silos. A train rumbled by overhead.

Light rail overhead and commuter trains on the lower rails were crisscrossing with a rattle and rumble. New construction had a greyish chartreuse, while the old bridge was painted in a bluish charcoal. In the bottom right corner is a small piece of the obsolete train bridge, it is a rusted iron structure covered in graffiti now.

Somehow, this writer (graffiti person) got on top of an enormous 20 story silo and rappelled down the side, making a large piece with paint rollers. The writing looked to be about 7 stories tall, located on the upper portion of the structure. It wasn't there last week, so it must have been done very recently. The actual name was mentioned in the first painting, here I changed it to my initials. Although graffiti is illegal and there are enormous amounts of it now, one has to admire the audacity to do something like this. It made me think about my paintings... I need to go bigger and more impressive... but on paper and not with spray paint!
