Drawing on the Walls

Cuenca is like other cities all over the world.  Graffiti is common.  Much of it is slogans about politics (a lot went up around the time of the referendum in May) and the usual topics you see in the US.  Like the US, there are some very artistic versions.  Here's an example from a wall near our house:
There are also more formal, organized murals done by children.  From the wall outside Christo Rey church, in our neighborhood:
And some photos of a large mural, covering two walls, between Mariscal Lamar and Gran Columbia, across from the Mercado 9 de Octubre, behind Plaza Hermano Miguel:






I see these often, and enjoy them.  There are many examples all around Cuenca.

Until  next time, be well.
