Amsterdam, Netherlands

This lone figurine occupies a boat tied up at the side of a canal in Amsterdam. From my first visit to the city back in September 2012.

One of the many animal-themed sculptures on the sidewalk ringing the Pioneer Courthouse in Portland, Oregon. This view is from my visit to that city in March 2015.

New York

I haven’t been to New York for several years now but one thing I loved about the place was poking around the city’s less-touristy (relatively, anyway) areas to look for stuff like this. This is from August 2011.

Portland, Oregon

When art and public works come together: This elaborate and illustrative manhole cover can be found on the multiuser pathway on the west side of the Willamette River in downtown Portland, Oregon. It’s street art in the purest sense of the term. Snapped this picture on a visit there last month.

Portland, Oregon

It turns out there is a series of signs such as this one, put up in parts of Portland to promote a comic strip based on the life of (you guessed it) sea gulls. I guess I’ll have to find the rest of them next time I’m visiting!
