“Public Art” is a big category! I see murals, sculptures, and knickknacks as public art.
On my drive from Victoria, where Pamela lives, to Little Qualicum Falls Provincial Campground, Pamela gave me a big list of places to explore. One of my favorites, the town of Chemainus, hosts murals upon many of the village’s walls. Viewers can follow painted yellow footprints to help find various murals.
I found murals elsewhere, including Portland…
…and Redding…
Sculpture, another type of public art, abounds. Here are some from Seattle…
…and in front of the Parliament building in Victoria…
…and on a street in Victoria…
and Malahat Skywalk on Vancouver Island.
I crossed under this tunnel, painted with graffiti, at Goldstream Provincial Park to view Niagara Falls (Vancouver Island’s version!).
Pamela and I walked around Tofino, Pacific Rim National Park, Denman Island, and Hornby Island, where we saw…
We also saw the magnificent sandcastles competing at Parksville Park!
