Side-trip: Quito Ecuador Street Art and Graffiti Showcase.
Side-trip: Quito Ecuador
Countries all over the planet have their streets covered in incredible, temporary art. I've been a fan of street art and graffiti for years. During my travels I've tried to photograph it when I spotted it.
Quito Ecuador is home to some of the most unique graffiti artists in the world. This post is a showcase of a street in Quito called "Luis Felipe Borja" where artists were given free rein. Some of the art isn't very appealing, but the weirdness was too hard for me to resist photographing.
Please enjoy these photos from Quito, and let me know what you think (especially about the feminist graffiti).
All photos were taken with my Samsung Galaxy S4 using the "A Better Camera" app in HDR mode. Enjoy.
My blog is normally focused on my scooter trip through Vietnam, but I want to share other things too. I will use the Side-trips title to post other stories and mini-series from other parts of the globe. To see my photos without all of the talk, check out this site.
I hope you enjoyed this Side-trip to Quito. Please consider reading my latest blog post about Vietnam here.
This street art is epic, do people ever fight for wall space there or do they respect each others' work? This style would do well as a tattoo, that ALM guy is professional grade.
BTW what survival option so you feel is good for the papa-pepper game? I felt like 4 might be best since the vine will swing out of reach for the second crossing. I'll test the log steadiness by going first if you don't feel safe. The fight option doesn't seem too good with my being empty-handed
I was thinking log too. You go first on this one, and I'll go first next time. I'll respond for our team.
Cool stuff! I like the cat driving the car.
Yeah, that one's nuts. Kind of Fear and Loathing.
That is some really nice streetart right there! The colours are especially lively.
Glad you pointed me here! Wow! Such vibrant colors. Did you need to wear sunglasses? Some of it felt like watching a theatrical performance. So rich!
lovely graffiti @ fronttowardenemy !!! thanks for sharing!!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the post!
Nice graffiti ^^
Realy nice street arts !
Thanks! Glad you liked them.
Really nice. Like you say some are a bit weird but all very interesting.
Yeah, pretty different. They had some great graffiti all over Quito, some really unique styles and subjects. I need to see if I've got enough good photos to make a post out of.
