I like strange and unique things so I wanted to have a post just about things I notice. A huge part of this is street art. I have many examples of great things I saw along the way. This blog entry is mostly pictures. Here are a few:
First, murals and street art:
 |
| Look closely at this one |
 |
| This lovely was in Brighton |
Beyond the murals I love juxtaposition. Old and new. Modern and Ancient. Sometimes just modern or just ancient standing out there...making its point to the world.
 |
| The Shard looks sooo tiny from this angle. The Boomerang looks ready to burst. |
 |
| I saw this floor and door stop near the British Museum and had to stop and take a snap. |
Plaques noting the famous are everywhere...as are chalkboards outside of pubs.
 |
| Parts of town have hardcore missions to state their sensibility |
 |
| Dangling things always get my attention |
 |
| Add caption |
Like these strange cherubs near St. Paul's Cathedral
 |
| Got some old crap? You too can make a gigantic mobile. Yes, cassette tapes. |
 |
| Interesting...ball of marigold like thing |
 |
| Foxglove everywhere in Ireland and England |
 |
| This beauty was at the Royal Palace in Brighton |
 |
| serious gates at St. Paul's |
 |
| Pattern. And a hand for a door knob. |
 |
This appeared in an earlier blog about Greenwich but those patterns!!
|
 |
| oxford details |
 |
| millions of tiny tiles for the St. Paul's floor |
 |
| The Walkie Talkie like an apparition in the background |
 |
| Hotel Russell |
 |
| I wish I had something for scale--these were gigantic lemons! |
 |
| From The Shard, the train yard looks like art |
 |
| Oxford ceiling details |
 |
| I've always been obsessed with the dragons of London |
 |
S
parkly, shiny all over London. This one by my flat every day. |
 |
| Dublin has Spiderman |
There was much art and promotion regarding the US Prez
 |
| Modern Millennium Bridge and St. Paul's |
 |
| Oxford door |
 |
| I love the Walkie Talkie and the grasshopper |
 |
| Everyone needs a large metal cyborg statue...they have 2 at Camden Yards |
I really love this shot of the old: The Golden Hinde (St. Francis Drake's ship) combined with the modern: The Cheese Grater, the Gerkin and the Walkie Talkie.
 |
| In Brighton this upside down house is a tourist attraction. |
Spirals.
The ruins of Winchester Palace. 12th Century important medieval building near the Thames.
Magpies: 1 for sorrow. 2 for Joy. I LOVE magpies!
 |
| living walls make me happy |
I just ran out of time and desire to posts more photos....
