Europe Street Art

No matter where I go I always keep an eye out for the various forms of "street art' that are dotted around the cities. It appears that the need to express is prevalent all around the world and that some people find the 'canvas' to use is a building wall, street cover, sidewalk shop, doorway or traffic utility. 
Some of this 'art' is just plain graffiti or tagging, and not worthy of mention, let alone the frustration and cost to shopowners and authorities to keep cleaning it up. The other form though is quite beautiful and sometimes encouraged by the authorities in an attempt to beautify a drab or run down building, or to add highlight to a public space (see the Dali picture in Paris) and allow an outlet for these frustrated artists.
Please enjoy the following that I collected over the last month.
