"TWARDOGÓRA ŁÓDŹ BIAŁYSTOK"... WTF? Names of three Polish towns/cities in graffiti along the Promenade in Portobello, Edinburgh?!?

Polish Prom graffiti

Twardogóra - a wee town in SW Poland
Łódź - third largest city in Poland
Białystok - largest city in NE Poland

It looked quite nice in the moonlight tonight with a kind of silvery glow....

I think it shows the diversity of our community. A fine example of urban art.

Would the plane no have to be flying at an awfy funny angle to see that graffiti?

They should have talked to Paul Lambie first about this.

There is a picture in the 'Welcome to Edinburgh' story in the Evening Snooze of someone standing in front of this graffiti, holding a paint roller. I assume it's Paul Lambie but with the EN you can never be sure.

The paint roller and location were the Evening News's idea. I think the graffiti piece is excellent and I've nothing against paint rollers either but the photo makes if look like I'm going to roller over someone else's work. That was a big, ugly, empty wall and now it has a meaning and it looks great.

There used to some graffiti on that wall that always made me smile
" wall huh what is it good for "

Sadly it was painted over before I got a picture

Starr!

its a funny graphic but i don't like the song, my heart used to sink at a Bruce concert when they played it. And whether War is good for nothing, is somewhat debatable. Written in '69 it may be War specific?

I apologise for my lazy rs
