Not Munich, not Europe, not New Zealand, not USA… must be from somewhere else in the world

Paris and my first “Street Art Tour”

So much fun discovering even more street art with my sister on this Paris trip. It felt a  bit strange to join an organised tour to see art on the street, but it was worth it. With a knowledge guide I certainly got many insights that I would not normally get and with not much…

Naples, night and day, pizza and art

Next stop for my sister and I was Naples in Italy. We came across an amazing street full of graffiti and art, but my poor old phone could not handle the poor light at night, so I don’t have much to show for it. But I did get a couple of great street signs and…

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.

Back in Berlin

This was my first time back in Berlin since my very first visit 10 years earlier. This was a flying-visit of a weekend with a fairly packed agenda, but I was able to spot some pieces on my travels.

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.

A couple of extra Kiwi ones

The sheep are obviously commissioned sculptures, but they are in the street and arty-farty and cute as cupcakes, and so very New Zealand.

Christchurch in reconstruction mode

My 2013 NZ trip started in Christchurch, a city still recovering and reconstructing itself after the devastating earthquake of 2011. It was humbling and inspiring to see lots of creativity, commissioned art and street art and lovely poetry appearing in between the rumble and destruction.

There’s more than just canals and bridges in Venice

Venice was one of the highlight trips during mum’s 2013 visit. Although I’d been there before it was quite delightful to share it with mum. 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…
