The street artists are very busy this summer!
This car is a big hit! Kensington is a popular tourist destination, and everyone wanted their pic taken beside this. I had to hang around for quite awhile to get my shots.
Also, it’s parked in front of one of my fave murals, which I did a post on 2 years ago. I call it Kensington Flower Girl. Check it out!

The artist is unknown to me at this time. As always, I will update, if I find out.
On July 9, 2017, Argentina has 201 years to its independence history.
I felt Argentina when I saw this mini-mural, so I sent a pic off to Aquileana from La Audacia de Aquiles, after all, she lives in Argentina.
She replied, “YES that graffiti certainly seems to depict Argentina…. Tango… Perhaps milongas ( a tango style).”
It’s like I can hear and feel the music all the way up here in Canada!

⭐ BONUS ⭐ Aquileana sent us some street art from The Boca Juniors Stadium!
“I added several murals surrounding the stadium …
And two pics from the streets nearby it”
“Boca Juniors is one of the two most popular football clubs in Argentina…. Alongside River Plate…. they hate each other… I am a Boca Juniors´fan :D”
“The iconography of these murals is very ARGENTINE.”
⭐ EXTRA BONUS ⭐
Aquileana sent pics from Caminito!
“In (some of) Caminito´s murals you can see a typical family and a technique to write words called FILETEADO.”
“You can Google: Caminito, Buenos Aires, Argentina to see the location, etc…”
I certainly did, and it looks very interesting, not just the location, but the shops and the views!
Artist of power box Tango Mural: Cesar Alonso Rodriguez
Argentina’s flag
Argentina’s flower – Ceibo
Argentina’s National Animal – Cougar or Puma- I thought this looked like one, although the smile is a bit sweet. It is from my collection.
Argentina’s National bird: Rufous Hornero
⭐ THANK YOU ! ⭐ Aquileana
Your contributions are fabulous! I have learned more about Argentina in doing this one post, than in my entire life. (except for about Eva Peron)
Pravda means true, and I see a struggle.
C’mon dudes! Peace and Flower Power!

I learned that the rose was designated the official flower and floral emblem of the U.S.A. in 1986.
I learned that on May 9, 2016, President Obama signed the National Bison Legacy Act into law. This majestic animal joins the ranks of the Bald Eagle as the official symbol of your country.

Toronto is going all out, hiring many artists to paint power boxes.
This one grabbed me, big time!
At first, the closer I got the better it looked.
Then the farther I got, the better it looked.
I walked away, and realized the other side was just as fabulous!

It means to work together towards a common goal.

The artists: Blow up the pic of the plaque to read all.
Winnipeg’s Mural Of The Year – 2015
Risking sounding insensitive; I respect the mural, however, it is not my fave from 2015. I feel it was politically judged, rather than artistically judged. I have felt this, or sometimes that the art and politics are both a recipe for winning MOY. If that is the criterion, then why did the Nellie McClung Mural not win MOY 2016? I adore the mural that won, but it has nothing on Nellie and her gals getting women the vote.
Moving on: A truck blocked part of the left side of the mural.
Here are some close-ups.

I had to go around to shoot what the truck blocked on the left of the mural.
I shot the above Mountie & below, Tam Nguyen who owns the building the mural is painted on.
Tam Nguyen receives his Canadian citizenship.
