Everyone's probably done it before; writing "dirty" or some obscenity in the grease or dirt of a filthy car or truck. Some people might even manage to get a few words of wisdom in there. The picture at the top of this blog is actually the same thing; gone real real good!
It's a mural or graffiti by Brazilian artist Alexandre Orion, who strategically cleaned the inside of a Sao Paulo transport tunnel to create a series of skulls. For people using the tunnel, it serves as a strong reminder of their environmental impact, for me, it's primarily a beautiful work of art.

To my astonishment, the city of Sao Paulo perceived it as negative graffiti, and opted to remove it, in stead of celebrate it. On a positive note; removing it meant cleaning the entire tunnel!
