Tweaked Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Many cities are well known for their street art, murals, and graffiti. San Francisco's Mission District is well know. Buenos Aires is also a fine example. Please use this thread to post photos of street art from your travels with a notation of city and country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I don't want to post them here, because I'd have to reprocess them and lower the picture quality (this site has size limits), but please do visit my smugmug site (link in sig line). There's a gallery of Reykjavik street art there. I haven't yet added the photos from my summer trip, though. Also, I have plans to go hunting/shooting DC murals with a friend today. Any neighborhood recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[If anyone runs into any size limitations for photos uploaded onto this website, please let me know the details - I just made sure that photos can be uploaded without restriction.] [You can change your uploads into a thumbnail by double-clicking them, and changing the leftmost figure on the pop-up screen's "Size" field - the rightmost number will auto-adjust to keep them in perspective. I've generally found that making the leftmost number 1/10th the size it was forms a perfect thumbnail, so, for example, if you double-click an upload, and it says the size is 930 x 524 pixels (which this one was), change the "930" to "93," click "Update," and the upload will auto-adjust into a thumbnail (which this one now is) with the same perspective.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dracisk Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Here are a couple from our very own Shaw in 2005. I have no idea if these are still there but kind of doubt it. I don't remember exactly where they were, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dracisk Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Here is one from Santa Fe, also from 2005, so it might not be there anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Parking garage across from Target at Rio Center in Gaithersburg. I found the artist's juxtaposition of medically accurate terminology with slang fascinating. Combining the two words into one with the added punctuation is pure genius.

DonRocks Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Not "art" per se, but maybe the best photograph I've ever taken in my life. I was in Yosemite, CA, just walking through a parking lot, and the sun happened to be reflecting off this vehicle in a way that perfectly reflected the landscape behind it - that is nothing but a plain, glass, rear window with a few stickers on the bottom. I even left the owner a note to write me (they did), and sent them the picture (they were thrilled) - they told me they were climbing that rock at the time when I took the picture, so in essence, it was a photograph of them.

I'd bet there's a book out somewhere that has a record of these - that would aid you in your quest. I'd be in, but I'm out until October. I'm a member of Capital Bikeshare, and *highly* recommend it - even just so you can park in a less-crowded part of town, and bike the rest of the way to a restaurant.

Tweaked Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 We didn't see a lot of street art in Delhi, but we did run across this one. The best "street art" is actually road art...the back of Indian trucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The artist is Deih and is inspired by the song "Waterfall" by the Icelandic dream pop/electronica band Vök. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
