Looming threat of snow
excited and uneasy
in equal measure.

The steep sweet meadows
now clad in deep mountain snow

1493. Horfield skate park (3)
Who’d have thought with all this lovely dry weather we are having that it is ony a couple of months ago that Bristol had its second covering of snow. I took a little trip up the the skate park at Horfield Leisure Centre to pick my daughter up and while I was waiting (I was conveniently early) I took a quick look at the graffiti around the skate park. Usually the standard is not that great, and there is a lot of tagging, but I have noticed a slight upsurge in the quality recently…maybe the reduction in spots in central Bristol is pushing artists out a bit to places like this.
Anyhow, this is a nice simple burner from my new friend Oner, possibly the first pictures I have of his work. The shading looks a bit untidy, but if you take a closer look, there is actually a lot of detail in there and it is not a quick fill. The whole piece is nice and crisp (and even). I hope to track down a whole load more of his burners.

Reset the fireplace

snow and ice return.

1356. Horfield skate park (2)
I don’t go to this spot often, but just happened to be picking up my daughter and a friend from Horfield Sports Centre and had five minutes to kill. I took a short walk around the perimeter of the skate park, in the melting snow, and was pretty happy to find this writing from Rusk.
Most of the stuff here is pretty elementary and it is a bit of a practice wall, so it is always nice to see something a bit more polished from an established graffiti writer. The class of this piece stands out, and even on a wall that not many will see, Rusk has taken his time to produce something of quality. A nice March surprise.

Wind-sculpted snow drifts

Pitching

From the south, Emma,
east wind from Siberia;
Bristol snow pitches.

In Bristol and for about a 30 mike radius, the word pitching is used instead of settling. I love the word.
Storm Emma is a low pressure storm which is bumping into the Siberian high that is sitting over Europe. Result…snow…yay.

An amber warning
anticipation of snow
