Extravagant Street Art
“In Águeda, a small Portuguese town, some streets are decorated with colorful umbrellas. The umbrellas look like they’re magically floating in mid-air, making people walking on the street without the hot summer sun on their heads!”

“Artist Horst Gläsker took a drab staircase wedged in between two buildings in the town of Wuppertal and painted it a rainbow of colors, transforming an eyesore into a bright, energetic spot. He named the 112-step public artwork Scala (“staircase” in Italian) and embellished it with stencils of German words that relate to human relationships, such as love, sympathy, and dance.” —Lyndsey Matthews
