“Imagine a city where graffiti wasn’t illegal, a city where everybody could draw whatever they liked. Where every street was awash with a million colours and little phrases. Where standing at a bus stop was never boring. A city that felt like a party where everyone was invited, not just the estate agents and barons of big business. Imagine a city like that and stop leaning against the wall – it’s wet.” -Banksy
No, this post is not about graffiti. It is about streets and cities awash with a million colours though; hence the Banksy quote.
Life in the big city is usually fast paced and stressful, and we can sometimes miss the beauty that’s right in front of us, making us want to get away and find beautiful spaces which allow us to forget about hardcore big city life for a little while.
It’s nice to find people that are able to see beauty in their daily lives and the cities they live in, giving us a different perspective on the places and spaces we interact with on a daily basis.
Here are four Instagrammers (I’m not yet cool enough to refer to them as ‘Grammers’) that find beauty in the big, bad cities in which they live.
