In the Algarve the local council has come up with a good way to stop graffiti – they get there first with street art. These electrical supply boxes are painted and suffer no vandalism. How clever…

Thank you Jo. I stole your idea so had to find a different way of showing them. Rain again today in UK we could do with those boxes to brighten things up!

And they work. One we spotted that hadn’t been painted was covered in graffiti!

The practice has spread (to or from I can’t say). We saw the same thing in Porto and in Mulhouse this year.

They kept us amused for an hour or so finding them and taking pictures.

I’m not sure where that one of the local councils in Melbourne does the same.
