This week’s Lens-Artists Challenge hosted by Patti at pilotfishblog.com is to present images that show the “Power of Juxtaposition”. i.e. where you have two elements in a photograph which when shown together add up to more than the sum of their parts.
Scratching my head, I recalled a tour with some friends of Glasgow’s mural art. And my approach that day had been to show the art in juxtaposition to people – people walking by or the life going on around those paintings large and small.
Consequently, I ended up with images that included passers-by, traffic and the occasional juggler. I always thought I might put these together in a single post and so…….I’ve posted a few of these before… Anyway, it’s some city!

Good to see some long gone murals, James with the added context to make them even more interesting.

It’s great you captured them within the context of the street, instead of just shooting them filling the frame. Great shots!
