Feb 23. A little graffiti to turn a concrete casing for some sort of water work a little prettier. Note the subject: a smiling can of spray paint. You could say this is self-ware art. It is located at the bottom of the first of 11 total Cotacols I ascended today, the climb is called Li Voye des Moneys, it is #231 in the official book of Cotacols.
