I pretty much walked past this small poster, but stopped in my tracks and took a closer look.
This is a really interesting wheatpaste by an artist called ’23 Magpies’. I think the artist is based in Gloucester, given that most of the works I can find are from there. My guess is that this was posted up during Upfest 2015, as it is only a short walk away from North Street. I have not been able to find out much about the artist, but some other works are shown here.

In a hundred years
will we be thought of as the

Summer’s last hurrah
new leaves unfurl, unprepared
for September’s chill.

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

Searching for sunlight
running roots crack through asphalt;

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

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.
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.
