The amount of detail and the colors and the designs are just amazing! The creativity just blows me away.

I like inventive street art but don't really apreciate tagging. Even if some is pretty inventive

My brother lived there until he died in 1988. Hubby and I always flew out to visit his family, even after his death. His father-in-law always took us around to view things in the city when we visited. On one trip it was to see the beautiful mural graffiti. I remember an alley that was a couple blocks long and every building had gorgeous art work painted on it. The above are stunning.

It is a feast for the eyes and a look into another culture.

Really improves the urban landscape

regarded as a canvas. Even this community is starting to come around to that view.

Full credit goes to the artist not the recorder.

we have become, depressingly, far too familiar with it.

Deep breaths really do help (and St. John's Wort).

My favorite is Cointreau - bursting with zesty orange flavor as it is.

So intense, just a taste will often do (a little more, if you were chewed out by somebody).

Back in the day.

But with a lot less Spanish.

I love public art!

The artwork is so beautiful. I could look at these for hours.

I had a wonderful day a few years ago roaming that area and seeing one jaw-dropping, inspiring mural after another. A glorious tribute to the human spirit.

Searching them out. Plus picking up some of the local foods to sustain your efforts.

I can't tell you how much I love these vibrant explosions of color. I love things that are colorful, and the artists who have created these have used dramatic palettes of the kind of bright, intense hues that my eyes love to wallow in. Thanks for sharing these images!

The least that I could do for these artist and the area.

Usually have to wait for a freight train to go by to see such a level of graffiti art.
