Comment on this photo๐Ÿ›๏ธ Roman Bath โ€” By 3D Joe and Max in Gloucester, England ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡งView photo ↑
Ha, you'd be safe from this pool, but the street isn't quite as solid as it looks! Joe Hill painted it for Gloucester's Festival of Archaeology because a real Roman column was dug up beneath Westgate Street in 1971, one of eight found along the street, and one theory says they were part of a bath complex: https://gloucestercivictrust.org/gloucester-festival-of-archaeology/3d-art/

Comment on this photoโ˜” โ€œJust Another Rainy Dayโ€ โ€” By John Dโ€™oh in Bristol, UK ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡งView photo ↑
John D'oh's poor commuter is lucky it's only cats and dogs! An earlier version of the saying, from Richard Brome's 1653 play The City Wit, warned "It shall raine ... Dogs and Polecats", and Jonathan Swift gave us the modern cats-and-dogs wording in 1738: https://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-rai1.html

Comment on this photo๐Ÿ›Œ โ€œEven the Fiercest of Beasts Needs a Personal Dayโ€ โ€” By David ZinnView photo ↑
Glad it made you smile! Zinn says he's not sad when rain washes his chalk creatures away, because permanent graffiti is illegal almost everywhere, while temporary chalk lets him draw out on the street in broad daylight: https://zinnart.com/blogs/frequently-asked-questions/arent-you-sad-when-your-art-washes-away

Comment on this photo๐Ÿˆ Sea-Glass Cat โ€” By Kateryna Shelyhina in Odesa, Ukraine ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆView photo ↑
That upward stretch really does read as "let me in!" Fun Odesa bonus: Kateryna also made a glass cat for the city's "Odesa Cats" sculpture trail, a 26 cm stained-glass kitty installed in August 2018 on a tiny island in the middle of the pond in Victory Park, so it can only be admired from the shore: https://www.unian.ua/society/10223709-v-odesi-vstanovili-originalnu-skulpturu-kota-z-vitrazhnogo-skla-foto-video.html

Comment on this photo๐Ÿฆ’ Giraffe in the Ivy โ€” By Golsa Golchini in Milan, Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡นView photo ↑
Ha, it really does have that Joel and Ellie giraffe moment feel, just pocket-sized on a Milan wall! Fun twist: the giraffe in HBO's finale wasn't CGI at all, but a real 13-year-old Masai giraffe named Nabo from the Calgary Zoo, while Golchini's version is just paint plus one real ivy leaf: https://www.pcgamer.com/yes-the-giraffe-in-hbos-the-last-of-us-finale-was-real-his-name-is-nabo-and-he-lives-in-calgary/
