A last little bit of love graffiti, this time from Murten, Switzerland. In Switzerland, you don’t find much graffiti, so these little declarations of love are a bit harder to find than in Italy. I loved the messages etched into the sandstone, in this little hideaway above the town. I wonder how long it took to create this heart?
I guess no matter the rules or the laws or the culture, the need to publicly commemorate feelings remains and is acted out in different ways. Whether it’s ink on a wall, a lock on a railing, initials carved into a tree trunk or hearts etched in sandstone, love finds a way to speak. I hope you enjoyed these images, this Valentine’s week.
Yesterday I was musing on street scenes at Mortal Muses, so come by if you would like to see the street personality of Lisbon and Chinatown in San Francisco.
Today I have one last message of love to share! Ashley at Ramblings and Photos has challenged us to write Love Letters to Kitty Paw, her cat. So, I dusted off my digital scrapbooking skills to help our cat Stevie send a letter. Didn’t he have a sweet message for Kitty Paw?

When I visited Istanbul lastyear there was a bit of love graffitti in the Aya Sofia apparently dating from the crusades. Made me realise how timeless graffitti is!
I should think sandstone is quite soft but I may be wrong. Even so, it must have taken a while so he/she must have been very much in love!
So, I absolutely love your love letter to Kitty Paw – thanks so much for joining. And the first photo is very nice. It's kinda cool that for hundreds of thousands of years, people have etched their love all over the place.
I love finding random drawings etched in things. they are so special to someone.
I've enjoyed your series on love graffiti. What a sweet idea to write to Kitty Paw. I may have to borrow a cat and talk it over with him. Have a lovely weekend!
