My home town
It’s probably a lot like yours. You probably pay no attention because you see it every day. But it can be as extraordinary, contradictory, beautiful and strange as anywhere else if you open your eyes.
So many community ventures, so many good deeds.
So now trees have QR codes? It's a tree identification trail.
Cheap shots and a tin bucket.
A rough side street to you, a garden for the people who live there.
I love the sign, I especially love the light and the green of the door.
Light can be beautiful anywhere.
Donkey rides, the pier and gale force autumn winds. That's my town.
Fish and chips and mobility scooters.
Classy.
A minimalist logo and a minimalist composition and the light is just right.
Beautiful art in a strange place.
Skies can be beautiful, wherever you are.
Giant artworks, wheelie bins and wasteland redevelopment in a single frame. That's my town.
He advertises a Mexican restaurant and he's become part of the town's character.
The work that went into painting this, at this scale.
Is there a message? No idea – but the airbrushing on the post shows the art came after the sign.
These back streets used to be rough but now they're like pop-up galleries.
The strange emptiness and geometry of back streets.
I liked the shapes, but I liked it even more when someone stepped into the frame.
Ordinary urban architecture becomes interesting when you take the time to look.
