Gritty and urban

One of the things that I'm growing to love about Milan is its urban edge. I wrote in one of my first Milan posts that Milan feels like it has an air of neglect about it, and that I was surprised by the amount of grafitti. Whilst I'm still quite shocked by the bad (boring, spray painted letters, no artistic talent whatsoever), the air of neglect has grown on me somewhat. Milan is a city full of surprises.

Below, I've published some of my urban photos from various walks around Milan - edited, of course.

More city rain... Repubblica
