While wandering to get my bearings upon arrival in Prague for a visit just about two months ago, I stumbled across this fantastic piece of user-participation public art. Positive vibes and bright colours all around.

What an awesome way to illustrate the outside of a garage! Functional street art, to be sure. Spotted in Leipzig back in September.

Äussere Neustadt in Dresden is a hive of fun places to eat and hang out.
It’s also filled with quirky, imaginative street art.
The neighbourhood is just a short tram ride (or a nice, long stroll) across the Elbe River, north of the old, restored city centre.

To my layman’s eyes, the glass dome of the arts school in Dresden looks like a lemon juicer. I’m sure I’ll be forgiven for my active imagination … because I later learned locals call this structure the “lemon squeezer!”

South of Leipzig’s city centre is the neighbourhood affectionately known as Karli, named after the main commercial street, Karl-Liebknecht-Straße.
As you can see from some of the fantastic street art I spotted in the area, it’s not quite the spit and polish of the old quarter just a few trams stops away … and that’s just fine by me.

This is a lovely detour off the Georgenbau city gate on the way to the Neumarkt square. Not exactly off the beaten path, but a lot less crowded and a bit more visually interesting. Snapped this view on a visit back in September.

This street art event was going on not far from the main train station in Leipzig, Germany, on my recent visit there.

Here are two adjacent landmark towers in eastern Berlin.
One is a TV tower constructed by the communist East Germans as a status symbol visible from far and wide.
The other, Marienkirche (St. Mary’s Church), is the oldest church in Berlin. The land has been home to a church in some form or another since at least 1292.
