I'm Still Not Tired of Street Art (But This is the Last Batch, from This Trip Anyway)

 




Remember I mentioned the red-light district?

I love that this one was painted to look like there were open cutouts, and today the sky and clouds cooperated to enhance the illusion.


Caribbean on top with the Carnival theme, but African on the bottom.

Kinda touristy but we had to. All the symbols are island sights -- the lighthouse, the red anchor, the chapel, the windmill, etc.



"Nostalgia" -- the refinery and aloe plants

This pair of herons uses the same technique as the previous red/blue quarantine mural but unfortunately my image through the filters didn't work out. Still cool though!




This representation of an aloe plant, painted with island symbols, is made of PVC and located at the corner of a gas station. Art is everywhere!

The warrior, "Our Defender"


This piece, "Night Watch," is painted on the side of the police headquarters. The artist used to get in trouble for street graffiti but here he got to spray paint on the building of the authorities ... by invitation!

Some kids build sand castles, these kids are building a sand "refinery."





This one was a little weird; there was an app you could download and a code to scan and then he came to life, eyes and mouth moved. I had no idea what he was saying, though; it wasn't in English.
