  • Street art Grace Jones pasteup in the Brick lane area of Shoreditch, East London, United Kingdom. Street art in the East End of London is an ever changing visual enigma, as the artworks constantly change, as councils clean some walls or new works go up in place of others. While some consider this vandalism or graffiti, these artworks are very popular among local people and visitors alike, as a sense of poignancy remains in the work, many of which have subtle messages.

  • An American expatriate living in Monaco laughs at a joke from an unseen person while standing near her apartment  in front of a beach mural on the Avenue Princess Grace.

Seen from a low angle, the blonde-haired widow wears sunglasses, a black coat and speckled scarf around her neck, has been living in Monaco for many years and speaks fluent French. We see a smart lady in her middle-age enjoying her retirement in the warm Mediterranean climate.
