Things spotted in my travels outside of Munich but within Europe

Discovering more in Geneva

Geneva was the first destination for my sister and I on our tiki-tour around Europe in 2015. In between the wine and cheese we managed a few great finds on the street. We also stumbled across an exhibition on Bains des Paquis where artists had been creating there works of art. Most were complete already,…

Neustadt, Dresden, Street Art Heaven

I had no preconceptions about Dresden, I knew a lot of effort had gone into rebuilding after the devastation of the war, I was expecting lots of nice old buildings and a fun weekend in general. I knew nothing of the colourful, diverse, politically charged suburb of Neustadt. Thanks to the awesome organisational skills of…

Les Voyageurs of Geneva

These amazing sculptures were hung (flying) or placed (sitting) around teh bridges and buildings of Bel-Air in Geneva. Silver and sparkly by day, illuminated by night. A mesmerising installation, Les Voyageurs (The Travellers) by Cédric Le Borgne.

Crete, sunshine, sea and art on the streets

We were based in a tiny wee fishing village called Bali for our stay on the island of Crete. From there we did some day trips including one to the city of Chania were I spotted this aray of art on the street.

I took about 50 photos of different ornate, amazing door knobs… but sadly these were lost in the 2013 phone-losing-incident. Thankfully there are some snaps of street art which were…

Chanced upon a few pieces in Bergen

While most of the art on this Norway trip was of the mother-nature-kind, I did spot these pieces in one of our few and brief forays into a town.

Seeing Paris with new eyes

This was my second time in Paris but my first time with the “Street-Art-Hunter” eyes. I was constantly racing to catch up with my travel companions as I paused to snap photos at random locations.

Digging through the archives, 2007 to 2011

Part of the impetus to start this blog was triggered by a long overdue clean up of my digital life. I started taking digital photos on my phone at the very end of 2006 just before moving from NZ  to Europe, and then got an actual camera in 2008. Over the years I have upgraded…
