Description

Another Russian landmark, graffiti mostly in memory of Viktor Tsoi, the lead singer of the Russian rock group Kino, tragically killed in a car crash some years ago. (This man is not him.) Thanks for having a look!

Great shot (good thing you told us this guy wasnt dead -_-') The graffiti really gives the image a great emotion to it. Wonderful shot :-)

This is an excellent capture! I really like the wall as it reminds me of my last gallery post ... weird timing! Your photographic eye is indeed 20/20. Youre giving us a peek into another culture through your images and for that, I'm very thankful. Cheers Aaron!

Urban life doesn't seem to be much different anywhere in the world. Scenes such as this happen here too. A terrific commentary on the times.

Wonderful capture Aaron. The important message is that people remember their dead and pay their respects in whatever way they can. Well done, thank you for sharing!

Hey Aaron it's true, you do get people lying around the world on the pavement for no real reason LoL, cool pic is the graffiti about the singer or just general adolescence.
