Marylin waiting for the bus. Penang, Malaysia, 2017.
“Looking for truth and a flat.” In that order? The flat can be arranged. But Truth? Paris, La butte-aux-cailles, 2018.
Can’t make head from…
Tail… San Francisco, 2016. I simply can’t understand why the powers-that-be put a bus stop in front of perfectly good Street Art! Can’t take a decent shot. Seriously!
May the Buddha be with you. Siem Reap, Cambodia, January 2018.
Brussels. Can’t remember who the comics characters are… Wait! Wonders of Internet, Victor Sackville by Francis Carin… A British Intelligence agent during WWI and the 20’s. (M.I. 5 or M.I. 6, I never could tell the difference.)
Bogotá, Colombia. Special menu at 18,000 Pesos. Trout or Beef. A bargain.
Changi Airport, Singapore, 2018. (Not a street? So?) The best airport I know. Impressive.
Back to San Francisco. I should have moved the trash cans, I know.
The Annunciation. Saint-Germain-l’Auxerrois church, Paris. I would put the painting around late 1400’s, early 1500’s. A beauty. To the picky: churches are on a street, hence church art = street art.
UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico). “Goya!” for UNAM would be the equivalent of “Roll Tide” for the “Univershity of Alabamer, Tuscalooser”.
I Forgot… What did I forget? Paris, Butte-aux-cailles.
Tintin and Snowy, aka Milou, on 15th Avenue, Bogotá, Colombia.
Reflection on Love. Paris, Rue Saint-André-des-Arts.
Boris (Judas) Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn riding the Brexit dragon. Can’t really finish on that one, can I? All right. Two more:
Shades of the tiger, Bangkok, 2018.
Balance. Singapore, 2017.
Wishing you a week-ed of peace and balance.
What an extraordinary collection. For all the verge and colours of the other, I adore the bold simplicity of Balance. Thank you for these.
Thank YOU. 🙂
I wondered for a “minit” about the last one. And decided it was a good close. Despite the apparent greyness. Bold simplicity it is.
Have a lovely week-end.
The same to you.
🙂
Marylin and Tintin stand out for me.
A man after my own heart. Have a great week-end with your charming family.
That’s a great batch. Marylyn will never go out of style. I like the dancer over the doorway and the girl with the bandana in her hair.
Agreed. It was fun to see Marylin on the walls of a typical south-East asian town. The girl with the bandana gained power as I enlarged it, and the dancer in all its simplicity is probably my favourite. Have a great Sunday. 🙂
Cool series! In Dutch Tintin is called Kuifje and his dog is named Bobbie. Kuifje because of his hair lock, and Bobbie… I don’t know, maybe the translater found it sounding good. Whatever – the characters are the same. 🙂
I knew about Kuifje. 🙂 (Ik bin een Kuifje Fan!) Have been for a long time. Didn’t know Milou was Bobbie. (Hergé was Wallon wasn’t he? Or maybe just Bruxellois?
His dad, I read, was Wallon, his mom Flemish and he was born in Etterbeek, part of the agglomoration Brussels. So a bit of everything. A true Belge. 🙂
I didn’t know all that. You are right. Een vrai Belge. 😉
Another lovely selection as always. Have a great weekend too!
🙂 And Sunday to you.
Rien de mieux que le street art pour enjoliver nos villes !
Je suis de plus en plus fana du street art. Il y a cinq ans, je ne regardais même pas. Maintenant, j’en trouve partout! Et oui ça égaye.
Fantastic street art! Thanks for the photos. 🙂
My pleasure. Glad you liked them. Cheers.
I live the street artists Brian. It is a pity they placed a bench in front of Marilyn. Thanks for the pics!
You’re very welcome Coeur de Feu. 🙂
🌺😊
Absolutely brilliant. I love them. So happy to be able to see each and every one. Thank you.
You’re only too kind. 🙂
So different to our ordered ways here, I love the vibrant colours and the randomness = inspiration, I think I’ll catch that bus.
The bus on Chulia Street? Hurry! Marylin is waiting for you. 🙂
Running ….. 🙂

Des belles photos!
Merci. C’est ce que j’appelle des photos “faciles”. Le sujet fait tout le travail! 😉 Hope all is well with you?
La danseuse est vraiment une très belle photo et le graffiti d’une élégance folle ! Merci pour ces morceaux d’art, Brieuc, et un tout doux bout de semaine à toi.
Pas de quoi Gilles. Bon Dimanche.
Once again, a wonderful walk with you! Were you scared that your hands would get filthy, moving those trash cans?😂😂😉
That’s a good one! Actually no. It has to do with the way I take pictures. Snap. For street art, it can be complicated because cars or bus stops can get in the way. So I just move to get another angle. Don’t think too much. Take the picture and then edit. I probably didn’t really see the trash cans. 😉
Simply stunning! I so envy the freedom you have to wander about like this.
I have considered going Downtown in Jo’burg, but I would stand out like a sore thumb and waving a camera I might as well raise a sign saying Please Mug Me…
I know. My cousin and you paint a dire portrait of Jo’burg. What I did in Bogotá was to strike a deal with my niece and her boyfriend. He drove, we took pictures. In some pretty shaky neighbourhoods, I wouldn’t even go down form the car. It was early morning on Good Friday, so wasn’t much people out. I guess you have to evaluate the dangerousness. And not take unnecessary risks. Here in Mexico there are a few zones with great street art that we cross on the way to other parts, but I wouldn’t walk the street much, even in daylight. 🙂
It is unfortunate to feel this way. And even if some of those feelings are more imagined than real, I still would not feel comfortable enough to take such a risk.
And yet, I worked in the centre of the City for years; in the Carlton Centre, and also in Main Street, less than a minute from the Carlton Hotel.
In those days I would merrily stroll around Johannesburg with no thought other than to Sight-see ( initially) or to shop.
As Dylan sang … ”The times they are etc etc …”
Don’t expose yourself. As I grow older (but not wiser) I realize how easy it is to screw a country or a place up. And how long it takes to lift it back up. Case in point: New York late 70’s. The Metro was very dangerous. You wouldn’t ride it after 8 or 9PM. And some parts of downtown Mahattan were the same. It took years to make New York a safe place again. 🙂
All wonderful, but what an excellent choice to end with the dancer balanced. And good heavens why ruin perfectly good street art with such an ordinary bus stop. People, people
Haha! Yes! People!
And I’m glad you liked the dancer. I wavered a bit before putting her at the end. But it seems to have been a good choice, based on visitors comments. Have a great week.
Street is my church too. How kind of you to end with balance. Lovely.
Haha! Every comment makes me glad I chose this image for the close. Despite the apparent greyness and mould. Thanks for the visit and comment. Grazie mille. 🙂
Stunning street art. You always find something exquisite.
I think it finds me. 😉
🙂
These are so great. I have a similar post in the queue for Paris street art!
Hi Alison. Good to see you. Look forward to your post. Where did you take it?
All over Paris so far. Lots of good street artists for sure.
How long are you staying? You were treated to unexpected good weather, right?
Till middle of March. The weather has been unbelievable. But it goes back to Paris weather this weekend
Middle of March is good. Still plenty of time. As for the weather… with thick warm clothes, a good scarf and a “bonnet”, you will be fine. A bientôt. 🙂
Fabulous art here! Thank you!
My fave is when there is a beautiful piece of street art, and they plant trees in front of it. ????
Well, at least there is art there…somewhere! 😀
Or anything in front. Cars! I have been tempted to climb on cars once or twice, but thought the owner might object.
I am also glad you ended with balance – the shape of the dancer is in sync with shadow and the dish
😉
It is one of those tricky photos, or images that don’t look like much, but on second thought?
Cheers
😉
Ha, the same streets indeed. I remember that tiger art in Bangkok!
Hehe! We have walked the same streets. 🙂 Couldn’t tell you exactly where this one was. Maybe on our way back from the Artist House?
All I remember (other than being surprised) is that I’d taken a boat on the river and then was wandering through some nearby streets. Doubt I could find it now!
I don’t think I could either, unless I went back to the other pictures, using the pic number and the adjacent. This could have been on the left bank on our way to a terrace for a beer at sunset. 🙂
Its stunning art works all wonderful to seen your post. Great job.
