More street art

On our trip last week, we looked for birds and art almost every day! Here are a few more of the beautiful outdoor art works from Charlottesville and Havre de Grace.

Charlottesville, Virginia: Murals




Havre de Grace, Maryland: Outdoor Art







This incorporates the Maryland flag.

There are many more at this site, but it's time to stop!

Very nice street art.

This is fabulous. Street art adds so much to a town, I think. I'd go there just to see the murals.

This is starting to put my Wichita murals to shame. There were so many I loved, but my favorites were the bee in the sunflowers, the submarine and pipes, and musicians and dancers in silhouette.

It's amazing how a simple mural can transform a drab building into something pretty.

Well-conceived and well-executed murals can have such a positive impact on the urban landscape, as you so ably demonstrate here.

We've got some interesting artwork on our walls and structures downtown Toledo. Also a brand new round shiny sculpture that will reflect the surroundings. Can't wait to see it. Have a good week.

I haven't been to Havre de Grace since I was a child. My great grandparents are from there. Lovely art and mutals, especially the the ones that take up an entire wall.

Love the murals. Especially the bee. I have been to Havre de Grace. At the top of the Chesapeake Bay. But it's been a long while. You caught it on a good day!
