You must check out the chewing gum art on Millennium Bridge! See story here on how it got started. He paints on the gum that is stuck to the bridge! (don't think this is the original guy, several people paint on it now)
Naples may be the most graffiti'd place I've ever been. Most of it is just destructive and ugly. I hate it. I did find a few pieces I did like.
We stayed in an um, edgy, neighborhood. There was lots of graffiti to be seen but not all of it was what I considered desirable. However there were a few I was able to capture here that I thought were interesting. .
I was quite surprised at how little graffiti I found in Paris. Maybe I wasn't looking in the right places or I was too busy falling in love with the city to notice the street art.

Street Art
I've
always enjoyed graffiti. The ever changing feel it gives to
an area can add a beautiful quality to otherwise drab buildings and
bridges. It can also give you a quick feel for what kinds of feelings and emotions are going on with youth in a city. |
