Smol Graffiti

On a walk under a noisy road bridge that carries the (Edinburgh to Carlisle) A7 road over an Esk river valley, I spotted a very cute bit of graffiti art with the word 'Smol' under it.

It's in such an out of the way place, I like that it wasn't created for a big audience. In fact, much of the art painted under this bridge isn't even visible unless you climb a fence and scramble up a steep embankment. I think the artist is 'Kiro', it's hard to make out in the full image.

I thought I'd share it here in case anyone wants a cute 'Smol' symbol. I doubt the artist would mind.

Some more art

Below, I've shared some photos of the other art I found there. They're just snaps from a mediocre phone, scaled down to Gemini-friendly sizes, but I thought others might like a random glimpse of the back of the back of beyond.

My favourite is 'Sludge', because it was probably inspired by a squelch and a muddy shoe. The painted stones looked much nicer than the photo shows, but the camera was no match for the subtle faded colours.
