Stenciled

These stencils were oddly placed in a flooded and not so easliy accessed part of the basement. They also looked pretty old and worn.

It represents a stoned girl with nothing better to do at night than spray stencils all over the place.

Radical Ed - your commentary throughout has been like a cool cloth on a hot day. Refreshng, soothing and always welcome. With your native expertise and Mott's photography it's been a little slice of The Berry.
