This graffiti wall on East Austin’s 5th Street is a well-known neighborhood landmark, SXSW, March 15, 2012

As I drove up Lamar Boulevard in Austin, I noticed this terraced wall of graffiti art, leading up to some sort of castle-like structure on the top of the hill. I can’t imagine what kind of project this once was, and I wonder if the castle at the top is abandoned, but the art works that people have created here are amazing.
