I wonder how many neighborhoods in DC have a specific named mural?

@serdar you have 2 great #publicartfinds today, but this year only one a day is counted – and must be on a ride that’s at least 10 miles which both rides are.

Today I found a limited edition Lilly Pulitzer Jeep Wrangler featuring a colorful Lilly design along the 2600 block of S. Adam’s Street, Arlington VA.

This collaboration between Jeep and the fashion icon Lilly Pulitzer was announced in 2008, to create these limited-edition Wranglers featuring a colorful Lilly design in pink, green, and yellow hibiscus flowers.

January 19, De Ontvoering van Europa. Translates to “the kidnapping of Europe.” It’s sits in front of the Flemish Brabant (Vlaams-Brabant) provincial seat (Provinciehuis). Knowing the title of the sculpture doesn’t really explain what is happening…if Europe is the feminine figure, is the bull kidnapping her? Or, is the bull Europe with the woman riding the bull to “rustle” it away?
