MADRID ~ IMAGES PAINTED ON ROLL-DOWN METAL SECURITY GATES ALSO SELL ...



Last Christmas, during the week I spent in Madrid, I noticed that most of the small shops roll down their doors when they are closed, and many have custom paint jobs to advertise or make a statement of their own.






Those that don’t have artwork are severely abused by taggers, but what they consider good original art is usually left alone. 






Not all shop owners are so lucky...



~~ Have a wonderful weekend ~~
~~ Thanks for stopping by ~~

  2. Fascinating! A side of security gates I had never seen. I must say this is charming and creative. Do they do this in other cities. It's wonderful.

  5. I adore colour and these photos are a delight to see. There is street art everywhere over here and it too is not messed with.
