I love to see unusual, creative and eye-catching street art. It's even better when it comes as a total surprise - when you turn a corner, or cross a square. I love that they are usually totally, incongruously juxtaposed to their surroundings and make me stop and wonder. From political to philosophical, from whimsical to serious, they are a feast for the eyes and food for the brain. ## 1.
