Whenever I get the chance to travel, I always photograph local street art. The topics, colors, and scenes help me absorb the feel and atmosphere that makes each destination truly unique. Join me for a tour of some amazing street art from around the world, right from the comfort of your armchair.
Welcome to Berlin, Germany, our first stop on the tour, where we find Christine Estima's photo of street art by ElBocho. I love the bold lines and striking expressions:

And now, over to Cardiff, Wales, for something slightly more muted. DIFF GRAFF did a great job capturing Rmer's portrait of Marlon Brando as the Godfather. It's quite striking, wouldn't you agree?

Heading to Dunedin, New Zealand, we stop off at Dunedin Wears the Pants. The site, run by Caitlin and Helen Owen, celebrates Dunedin's vibrant creativity. Continuing with our more muted palette is an incredible, perspective-boggling piece by Daniel Mead:

Hop over to the Xochimilco borough of Mexico City, Mexico, and feast your eyes on the vibrant colors of American expat Shannon's photo essay, "Who are the people in your neighborhood?" on her blog, Casita ColibrÃ:

In search of more brilliant colors, we stop in San Francisco at Stan Santos' blog Simple Kitchen Seasons. Here's a sample from a recent series of photo essays by Stan featuring sights on the streets of San Francisco. The brilliant blues are stunning in this piece:
