European Street Art

I love street art. I love stumbling upon a beautiful work of art in the middle of a city when you aren't expecting it, be it on the side of a building, painted on a utilities box, or painted on the remnants of a historical site. I am always astounded when I see large scale works of art; it amazes me that people can plan and execute a mural of such large size. I definitely got my share of street art while spending time in Europe, so I decided to share some of my favorites!

This under pass had a dance party and a really good message. Let's all be friends.
