Hi Joolz Loved the stencil Re the way we respond to graffiti raised in this and previous posts Whalers did it too. We saw graffiti in large white lettering on the black volcanic rocks on one beach inthe Galapagos. We were told it had come from 19th century Whaling crews when hunting in the area. Amazing how the tourists' views changed when they realised it was historical writing and not some act of modern 'vandalism' as they first imagined it to be. I guess context of reception is all.
