Looks interesting and I really need to get out and move around more too!

In my opinion this is a very interesting topic, Clive.

I'm curious to see things from all over the world.

Have a nice day, friends.

I'll keep an eye out! This is a great idea.

Thank you for the new challenge, Clive.

It will be a bit difficult out here in the outer potato variety, but I am looking forward to see what will show up in here ;o)

I have only one shot from Copenhagen and it is 3½ years old. No street art around here, so I will just look and enjoy, this month. :)

It was great timing! I never would have shot it if it weren't for the monthly challenge topic. :) I think it's an old truck that's been converted ... probably a parade vehicle.

Here is my first for the month.

Taken today at a strawberry farm near Stellenbosch close to Cape Town, South Africa. I think all of this started with another farm nearby having scarecrows in their fields.

I am really looking forward to more submissions here!

It amazes me, the time and attention people take with things like this. What a great find!

Another bit of art at the strawberry farm yesterday.

It is a loose depiction of the provincial rugby teams in South Africa. Given that this is the Western Cape, the local Stormers are mounting the Blue Bull of Gauteng, their arch rivals.

C vs C C = Clive versus Carin & Christo!

Nah! I am not a rugby fan – their lap times are too slow!

This all is amazing to see!!!

I was expecting pretty pictures,
but this is much more than in my imagination could be true ;-.

Thank you all so much for sharing!

dochtersions ( ) posted Sat, 06 April 2013 at 8:38 AM

And here then my number one.

This photo I took in Sittard, about 5 kilometers from here.
It was to encourage people to do more handicraft art.

dochtersions ( ) posted Sat, 06 April 2013 at 8:44 AM

Also in Sittard, I don't know how you will call these two.

helanker ( ) posted Sat, 06 April 2013 at 8:48 AM

HA! great photos, Jacomina :-)))

dochtersions ( ) posted Sat, 06 April 2013 at 8:51 AM

P.S., this is for Helle:

If you look at my last upload my friend, you can see that the street is called after you.
(look at the blue nameplate on the right middle)

There is written: Helstraat.
Translated: Helle-street.

Incredible street art finds to everyone Really great challenge this month.

Here are my next two: Street performance art by Temple of Poi. Once of month these firedancers pick different locales around the city and invite everyone to come to thier show. Especially the photographers which sometimes outnumber the performers.

You can find them on FB under Temple of Poi
