Funky drawings in an abandoned signal booth (my first post, please tell me if I didn't follow etiquette or smthg!)

I was biking around and happened across a disused segment of the disused Southern Pacific railroad line through Livermore, CA. Decided to walk around some of the old industrial spurs branching off the line and found a concrete signal relay booth some feet east of Vasco Road. Took a peep inside, found a pile of shit and this artwork (perhaps characterized as gay porn?) that thoroughly impressed me (way higher effort than the usual suburban graffiti I see 'round these parts) and I felt like sharing it, but I wasn't sure where to do so.

My guess, based on the state of the booth, was that someone ripped out the relays and cut a hole in the shelf where the relays sat to use the old signal booth as a crapper. While bored n laying logs(or while engaging in some other special bathroom activities)they drew this art.

Sorry for the image quality, this wasn't planned and I only had my phone camera and couldn't see the screen in the sunlight. Also drive links because I couldn't compress anything down to the 100kb attachment limit.

The booth:

The art (edited for clarity): https://drive.goog...v/view?usp=sharing

Some other photos of the tracks n whatnot:

Sorry if this is a boring post, most of the content I see on this forum is wayyy more interesting but I found the art in the booth neat. Advice appreciated!

There's nothing wrong with sharing gay porn you found, and this is certainly one of the more memorable first posts we've seen lately.

You probably should figure out a better way to share pictures, as that method exposes your name a little too clearly. You should definitely resize anything you share online to something smaller, and find a site that can host images. Flickr probably still can do that, despite otherwise not having much going for it.

I've been meaning to set up a Flickr for a while, I should probably do that. From what I read in the UER rookie guide it also seems that that allows you to make the photos visible in the post.

About Drive revealing my name though, that isn't my real name, I made a fake Google account a while back lol

I personally have a separate Google account under my exploring name, since you can have multiple accounts per phone number. Then I upload all my photos to Google Photos, enable the "visible to anyone with a link" privacy option, and use the add-on below to generate a BBcode link I just paste into the thread.

It's nice because Flickr limits you to 1000 free photos whereas Google Photos limits you by total data size, and adding additional data is a lot cheaper than a yearly Flickr subscription. Plus I just find Google Photos easier to use.

"Sorry, I didn't know I'm not supposed to be here," he said, knowing full well he wasn't supposed to be there.

I'll definitely look into that, I'm more familiar with Google Photos than I am with Flickr and already have a pseudonymous Google account.
