A couple of years ago these wrap images started popping up in the Vancouver area. I wasn't super sure how I felt about them until I learned that they were graffiti proof. Well, Ok. A bit of a stretch for me on fake beautification preservation.
Other countries have their own variation. This is what Brisbane (Australia) has done. They ran a competition and had original art work painted directly on and signed by local residents. They have a total of 1000 boxes, having 100 painted each year starting in 2000. Each one different. I prefer this look.
Originally I was starting this post to mark how cities are trying to hide electronics. The latest effort that makes me grin; LA's fake tree cell towers seen here as catalogued by
Emily Shur naming her photography project
"Nature Calls.".
