To me, the best feature of the graffiti is that the forms it takes interrupt the linearity of other elements in the image - primarily, the railroad tracks.  I also like how the rust on the building's siding is close to the same color of the vegetation near the tracks.

The thing I'm most intrigued by is actually in the content here: I'd wondered in the past what graffiti would look like in a logographic language, and the eye-opener here is that I still don't know. The thing I'm second-most intrigued by is how nature has left graffiti of its own in the form of the rust streaks on the sheet metal--nice juxtaposition of two calligraphic modes.
