The picture shows a woman standing with a high-pressure washer that has apparently covered the wall in green paint. The green paint appears as the leaves of a heavily trimmed cherry tree in the foreground.

– The fresh green colors represent our beloved Islington, and of course St. Patrick’s Day, which is a pleasant and pleasant event, says a lady in the neighborhood according to NTB.

The lively use of color fits in with the colors used by Islington City Council on street signs in the area.

– The way it’s done, but the paint that runs down, reminds me a bit of a mourning arrow. Perhaps there is a message about the environment hidden here, with the large dead tree in the foreground, said local Lidia Guerra til The Guardian.
