Arty Tuesdays: Streetwise


A few weeks ago my friends Cam and Rach came over to NI for a long weekend, it was pretty great! We had free VIP tickets to a Keith and Kristen Getty concert which was sa-weet. Also went up North for an attempted surf trip, although sadly, despite a good surf report, you would have found bigger waves in a puddle. So, we resorted to sand dune surfing! A new life skill acquired. 

The girls wanted to do a tour of Belfast too, but the organised ones were pretty long and expensive. So I took them for a walking tour of the Falls and Shankill. Apparently this was a very brave idea, but we didn't feel threatened.. except at one point when we were the victims of a water bomb on the Falls! The difference between the Cath/Prot areas were super noticeable seeing as it was the Jubilee. Although we didn't see any of the big murals, there are lots of smaller ones all over the place. I really like a bit of successful street art, brightens up the concrete! Inspired today's post. Here's some I found from all over the world.
