Sunday stroll..-
...with pictures of course.
We weren't really in a park mood and decided to explore some of the streets around the neighbourhood. I'd driven through some of them ages ago, others were terra incognita to me and I enjoyed wandering around rather aimlessly. There is nothing really to sightsee there, just the usual mix of early 20th century houses long past their glory and newer appartment buildings.
As always, I was on the look-out for street art and then I found Bruce Lee. Somehow the runny paint gives the stencil the effect of movement, though this is probably unintentional.
Then there was this sticker with a play-station kid:
On our way home, we walked through our equivalent of the Hafenstraße in Hamburg - Squatter Central during the Hausbesetzer movement in the 1980s. The time of police raids is over and now the counter-culture squatters are cooperating with the city council. They still display their roots in the way they decorate their houses.
Back to nature:
Using the art of the past, slightly reworked with the equestrian policeman and the female saint with the spraypaint cans:
Then there is this fascinating house:
It must have been a lot of work to create this effect. In the next picture you can see the front door:

I hope the artists of the figures on the house have a chance to use their artistic talent elsewhere too - they are stunningly well done.

There were some people about and I didn't want to go all touristy with my camera, but when I saw the green rainbow house I just had to take a picture. This certainly wasn't done by a bunch of stoned anarchists.

When I'm having a walk here, in Paris, I'm always on the look for wall art too :)

Thank you, though I just took the pics which was a lot easier than painting the houses. You can find my street art pics through the relevant tag, but of course Paris has the better art!

Thanks for posting these.

You're welcome!
That house is out of this world - it seems to float and move.

Hmmm. Why doesn't this surprise me?
He's got a horse. He's strong and masculine. He's an authority figure. He makes the rules.

Well, the rest of it is rather plain - it's the only bright spot for miles!
