A couple of weeks ago I posted about some of the street art and graffiti in our local area. I’ve since captured a few more examples of public art. I think most of this is commissioned to prevent graffiti.

These look great!
And now you’ve reminded me that I really should take a few photos of the mural art around Cape Town – the colours are wild.
Thankfully, the city has very little of the messy tagging, so the good stuff actually stands out.
Oh, I’d love to see that!
I absolutely love this. It really adds flair to architecture that would otherwise be forgettable.
Yes, especially the public toilets. I think there is another painted public toilet block at our local shops.
These are pretty. I’m surprised that graffiti artists are deterred – does it seem like they aren’t interested in painting something that is already artistic?
I think maybe painting over other art is a nonno, plus the tagging doesn’t stand out as much.
I love when there’s a pop of color when you look around! Very cool.
I think the art adds to the neighbourhood.
