SIDEWALK ART!!!!

WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT IS A SORT OF ART COLONY GOING WILD EVENT THAT THE CITY OF HALIFAX , NOVA SCOTIA SPONSERS EACH SPRING. ALL THESE MURELS ARE CHALK DRAWINGS THAT THE ARTISTS HAVE ONE DAY TO DRAW ON THE PAVEMENT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS, PROBABLY MORE, AND THE CREATIVITY THAT HAS DEVELOPED IS INCREDIBLE, WELL DAH! ANOTHER REALLY NEAT THING ABOUT THIS WHOLE EVENT CONCEPT IS THAT THE DAYS FOLLOWING THE CREATION, THE DRAWINGS ARE LEFT VIRTUALLY UNDISTURBED BY THE TOWN 'S RESIDENCES AND ARE LEFT THERE FOR A WEEK OR UNTIL IT RAINS (WHICH IS USUALLY THE CASE). ANY CHANCE OF THAT HAPPEN IN A US CITY??? ENJOY THE LITTLE THINGS.
