Art, Random - # 3

Ramdom artworks I find in the streets, underpasses, parks. No transit stations. No museums. Well, sometimes.
They would include paintings, murals, sculptures, statues, structures, and temporary installations.

Multatuli (from Latin multa tulī, "I have suffered much") is the pen name of Dutch writer Eduard Douwes Dekker (1820 - 1887). Considered one of The Netherlands' greatest writers, he is best known for his satirical novel Max Havelaar (1860), which denounced the abuses of colonialism in the Dutch East Indies.

It is strange that such a little alley can hold so many people


We come to gawk at the red lights by the canal.
Oh, see the lights dance sinuously on the water.

bu sin ess as usual
