| On the University of Michigan campus: a fountain by sculptor Carl Milles. One of my favorite local art works by a great artist. |

| As I snapped the picture, this car came by. More street art? |

| At a park outside of town, graffiti on the bridge — maybe changed since the last time I was here. |

I like all of it. Probably a minority opinion, but there's something compelling about graffiti just like there is about works of art that most people would agree are art. Street art, which I would say falls in between these two categories, can sometimes, because of its lack of arty status and thus draws fewer expectations, be more intriguing than art-that-most-consider-art.
What an interesting fountain. I tend the enjoy the usual fountains. Not a fan of the graffiti, however.
That car was the perfect photo bomb. The statue is magnificent.
Hello,
I am not really a fan of graffiti, I like the murals and the sculpture.
Take care, enjoy your day and have a happy new week!
I like the bridge and fountain!
You have to love the street art. Yes, I've came across some very odd painted vehicles. One was a car that had makeup glued to the hood, and another was covered in all ivy.
That fountain is amazing! Have a great weekend!
That's a very happy photo! I love street art -- but graffiti? Not so much.
I do like some street art / graffiti, just like I enjoy some famous artwork and some famous artwork I do not like. I think the bridge and the electric boxes look really cool.
Good ones - all of them!
I think the mural on the electrical box would have been fabulous had it not been tagged. I am sure much thought went into the original design.
I had to laugh at the old, old green mailbox. Wow, that's a REAL oldie.
Sorry I've been MIA!
Great pics! That fountain is wonderful.
Yeah I like the fountain sculpture ... it looks refreshing!
Lovely fountain sculpture. My favourite mural is the Pokemon in the car, quite cute :) Thanks for contributing to Monday Murals Mae
That fountain is gorgeous!
I do like street art and also like graffiti on box cars of trains
I really like all of this art. Have a great day.
