RE: Edmonton street art collection #2: Rust Magic international street art festival part 2 - 2019 - OneQ

in #photography5 years ago

It's a fairly new concept but we have a young progressive mayor that is committed into transforming our city into a cultural destination instead of the rusty old fart that was here forever. The wall art also minimizes unsightly tags and vandalism.

Sort:  

Thats great and I think its good to have artistic murals than some of the garbage tagging in places, I would love to see more cities embrace it

I agree! It makes the cities more friendly looking and inviting. I personally think it's a great initiative.

there some good one sin NYC and there often changing or new ones going up I love getting out and tracking them down

Oh I can just imagine NY!!! So much better than Edmonton!! I get jealous of some of the places you get to visit regularly.

I am lucky to work in the city, never imagined that would come to be when I was growing up in New Zealand

I bet not!! The places life takes us sometimes. When I was young, It's all I ever wanted. Now as I grow older, I want to go back to the simple life in the mountains, I'm not ready yet tho. :)

ohh yes indeed, when I was growing up like most NZ kids I dreamed of an what we called an overseas experience and I thought it would be just to Australia, I never imagined that by this age I would have been to over 60 countries, some on peoples wish lists to go to and some in a bad state worn down by war and conflict, so I have seen all kinds of things both good and bad, but I am still a country boy at heart, and looking forward to retirement hopefully next year and aa simple life
