A collection of images found on the streets in different Cities with the recurring theme, LOVE.

‘LOVE on the streets’ is a collection of visually delightful images of LOVE, in its many forms found on the streets of different Cities from Manchester to Mexico and beyond.
Over the years, whenever I have traveled somewhere whether its a day, week or month, one thing I love doing is exploring a place on foot, to see what it has to offer and what the streets are saying. Most Cities have some form of street art and graffiti upon the walls and the visuals often speak volumes. It’s a brilliant way to gauge what’s happening, how people are feeling and where the interesting areas are.
My camera would travel with me (and still does), it used to act as part shield, part beautiful connector to the tiny delightful, and sometimes not, details in life. A recurring theme I noticed and still do, is LOVE, in all its forms on the streets, down the alleyways and lurking ready to be found and brighten someone’s day.

There would be mini messages of ‘love’ written, hearts, messages relating to bigger projects and reminders to ‘love yourself’, sometimes hidden, others fully on display.
Whether you are a lover or a hater of street art, sometimes a bit of brightness and a gorgeous message can make someone’s day or be a much needed reminder for when we forget or there is no one there to tell us.
Next time you're out walking keep your eyes peeled for the ‘love’ that exists on the streets. The great thing about the notes, words and messages is it’s lovely to know someone is behind the artwork spreading a message which will bring a smile to someone’s face or brighten their day. The ultimate mission.
It’s also great to remember, as well as, the beautiful notes of love, positivity and good stuff, we are all able to make a difference daily to anyone if we so wish, for no reason or reward, other than being decent.
Go be delightfully decent and spread the good stuff.
