Sixteen

Each classroom had metal screw-on numbers. For some reason, someone sloppily painted over those numbers on most of the doors. I liked the pattern and runniness of this one. There was surprisingly little graffiti inside the school, so I don't know whether this paint was by vandals, or perhaps a sign used by the movers to signal cleared classrooms.

Tones and texture are beautiful ! I think that someone went through it, the number inspired him and he left his trace .

Au premier abord j'ai cru que c'était une corne de bélier !
Peut-être les trois nostalgiques d'hier qui ont laissé ces larmes de peinture sur le numéro de leur classe pour exprimer leur tristesse !!!!
Très belle texture "piquetée" du mur.
Bon we Harry

This makes a great abstract image. I really like how the paint has dripped down and the detail in the door.
