It must be Autumn,
there’s no need to step outside,
Google told me so.

Bamboozled
Searching for sunlight
running roots crack through asphalt;
irrepressible.

To be trapped is to
be filled with a fear so great
that all fight subsides.

37. Leonard Lane (4)
The fourth work from Leonard Lane, but certainly not the last. It really is a goldmine of environment related street art.
This is another lovely mural by Stewy which accompanies his Dodo and DJ Derek in the same street. I admire street art that incorporates its surroundings, like the window bars here.
34. Raleigh Road
One of the most eye catching murals from this year’s Upfest must surely be this wonderful fox by artist Rob Wass.
The urban fox has become part of the furniture in Bristol, and has been studied over many years by Bristol University. It has become something of an emblem for the city.
Rob Wass, who lives and works in London creates some wonderful colourful works, but I think that these large scale murals are something of a slight departure.

With consummate ease,
walking on water is like
a stroll in the park.

Brown Trout
Distorted shadow
obscured by rippling waters;
unmistakable.

Common Blue
On Cornish heather,
still only for a moment;
captured in rapture.

28. Baffins Lane car park, Chichester
My mother told me I really should go and check out a beautiful bird mural in the centre of Chichester when I was visiting a week or two ago, so I did.
The mural, which overlooks the Baffins Lane car park, is by ROA, and was created during the Chichester street art festival in 2013.
Although his work appears throughout Europe and beyond, little is known about the artist from Ghent, Belgium.
He specialises in pictures of animals, often gracefully contorted in death poses. These birds however, are very much alive. I will have to look out his work in Bristol.
