Graz–Jun. 8, 2025

Off to Augarten.

flowerbed

deep pink roses

back of remise 3

This is the back of the depot that they’re renovating.

I think these are new wall art:

skull with roses for eyes

geometric wall art

Two hands holding a gas mask with a head in it.

face drawn with continuous squiggly line

Pretty sure the face is drawn with one continuous line; very impressive!

abstract with circles

abstract with mostly blue and red

Person with hands folded, wearing what appear to be handcuffs; at right a stack of cash with wings on it, at lower left, a stack of cash wearing sunglasses.

Then, down Annenstraße:

Deer eating leaves from a tree with birds nesting in it

bay window architecture

Weather vane with letters for four cardinal directions

And some wall art at Augarten:

Person feeding a squirrel; girl with magnifying glass looking at yellow flower.

badminton bird lying in grass

bust of Peter Rosegger

Hey, it’s Peter Rosegger (again)!

whimsical recycle cartoons

The various recycling bins...

Leg Deine Sorgen für einen Mmoment auf Eis

Put your worries on ice for a moment.

Schönaugasse

Apparently there is a plan to change this one-way street into a one-way street going the opposite direction, with a lot of protest by the people living there. I happened to go down the street on the way to Jakominiplatz:

Destruction of Schönaugasse through remodeling and change! The change of the traffic direction is directed against the residents, the environment, and the economy.

Zerstörung der Schönaugasse durch Umgestaltung und Veränderung! Die Veränderung der Verkehrsführung richtet sich gegen Anwohner, Umwelt und Wirtschaft:

We will not let our street be destroyed: NO to the reconstruction plans in Schönaugasse!

Wir lassen uns unsere Straße nicht zerstören: NEIN zu den Umbauplänen in der Schönaugasse!

And some miscellaneous pictures:

trays with hello kitty and che guevara

Talk about the “odd couple.”

old roof

Garbage can with cartoon of stick figure person dropping garbage into a wire can.

A somewhat recursive garbage can.

Umleitung Marschallgasse

They finally put up a detour sign at Marschallgasse to tell bicyclists to use the alley to go north or west.
