Murals on the Azores

Ponta Delgada is one of the main cities on the Azores, the Portuguese islands in the Atlantic west of continental Europe. Though we usually post Tucson murals on this blog, I thought you'd enjoy seeing some of the lively mural scene on the streets around the port.

Most of these murals are dated 2011 or 2012, so I think the government might have had a hand in them as they sprouted so quickly. (If you'd like to know the exact locations, please ask. The original photos were all geotagged, but these online versions aren't.) I snapped these on November 1. (Tomorrow, it's back to our regularly scheduled murals.)
