Murals Everywhere

Maybe it comes from a culture of museums and art at your finger tips, or maybe I'm in just all the touristy areas, but there are all kinds of funky murals around the place. I seem to wonder why it doesn't happen so much in Australia and seems to be because some idiot will want to graffiti it and put their 'tag' on it.

This one one from Cannes, fun to try to pick out the various character references (ones I could pick out included Titanic, Star Wars, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Batman, Mickey Mouse, Charlie Chaplin and Tarzan):


One on the highway on the drive back from Antibes (not a brilliant photo but you get the idea)


A dude painting some palm trees


As you can probably see, these are some large scale works and have a certain 'charm' to them as public art displays.
