Bratislava street art

The Old Quarter is a bit of a warren of tiny alleys, shopping streets, courtyards, cul-de-sacs and private apartments. Interspersed around the main shopping parts are some quite funny sculptures that really make you stop and look twice, and then smile.

The man peering out of the manhole appears as a popular icon in tourism marketing and just cracked me up. The photographer peering around the corner reminds me so much of my father. No signs warn you of them, no attention is drawn, they're just little surprise you stumble upon.

This is the “off season” for tourism, and I still had to wait around a bit to get shots without anyone posing by the sculptures. Great street art, and cities need more of this.
