[PHOTO ESSAY] A black and white mural in a changing part of the city
View this post on Hive: [PHOTO ESSAY] A black and white mural in a changing part of the city
Dear reader - Steem has been renamed to Hive since May 2020. My content therefore has moved with me to Hive, and I hope to see you there: peakd.com/@soyrosa.
We have a LOT of street art and graffiti art around here too. It is a visual voice for the character of a place and it's people. Like a unique signature or a personalised wax stamp. No doubt the artists will happily decorate the new developments too.
Silver linings... xxx
HA! Would be pretty interesting to see those fancy buildings being decorated in the first week or so :-) But yes, I definitely love the unique signature of street art - Lisbon is a great city for finding street art, as is Brooklyn, NYC. I'll have to put Cape Town on my list of places to go to, which was the idea anyway :-)
Ha!! For sure. The wine will be ready and waiting! 😎👌😁
Wh00p! South African wine! :D
Oh you now it! :D Best in the world!

Wow! It looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing the photos and the explanations you found regarding the mural. The fact that is in B&W makes it stand out even more!
Thank YOU for commenting! :D Glad we're reconnecting again over street art - hope you're well @lymepoet!
The artist put an interesting meaning into the drawings. You can fantasize. Previously, the first people did cave paintings. They reflected their life in them. Now our generation makes the same "cave paintings" on the walls :) Telling your story.
This is STUNNING. Graffiti adds to the character of a city. Melbourne is known for it too - it has a lane in the CBD where graffiti is in layers on layers and tourists come to take photos. A few hipster suburbs have amazing graff... on tall buildings, on warehouse walls (many converted into cool housing), down lanes... its just beautiful. Oh, and Melbourne is also amazing for perfect coffee. We pride ourselves on it. My son lives in Melbourne and was mortified when he got to London and struggled to find a decent coffee haha. Twas such a culture shock to him.
Loved this graffiti art, thanks for sharing.

I have read bits and pieces of the Netherlands being a core place of unusual and unwanted current and futuristic direction of man and AI. Do you find that too?
If you have an article for me to read I'd be curious to see it! :D
Hey @willowwisp, I'm not aware of that so far, especially not that we're the 'core place' for that happening, but we have two very experimental and high-qualified Technical Universities where lots of experimentation might take place as we speak. So overall we're definitely often frontrunners when it comes to stuff we currently deem 'futuristic', like cars running on solar energy and stuff like that :-)
There's a lot of click-bait out there. I try and not connect with most of it unless I have time to check it out. Look where man is today...I'm looking forward to the future and I'm sure tech will be both good and bad because that's just they way everything life changing and important is.
