Holding things together

Don’t be alarmed! Things look worse than they are, clearly. This very neat implementation of public art was spotted in London this past fall.

Public art in Phoenix, Arizona

This is some of the public art embedded in the ground at one of the light-rail stations in Phoenix, Arizona — a really neat way to make such project really accessible to the public.

At one with the animals

What a cute place to sit and relax! Spotted this in a park in Budapest, when I visited there in September 2015.

Lounge chair

Free public wifi along with a bunch of artful, colourful chairs like this one … it’s as if this neighbourhood space in Prague is asking for you to hang out.
