All the more so to think of them not being permanent. Kind of makes me realize that all art does not have to last forever but just to enjoy it and appreciate even that that is fleeting. <br /><br />I'll be watching for your NC mountains post!

Wall paintings done with skill and taste are also gaining interest -- and above all, these forms are all gaining the support of municipal authorities, building owners, and others who make them so different from the vandalism of graffiti. Your collection of photos is really wonderful.<br /><br />best... mae at maefood.blogspot.comMae Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328946930935633113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-39075196399897295812019-11-05T13:12:04.030-05:002019-11-05T13:12:04.030-05:00What fabulous cars and chalk artwork.

Love that old tan over bronze antique auto and the taxi/patrol care is a clever idea. We also stop for dogs...despite the fact that we don't have one. We get our dog and cat fixes from neighbors and friends.
