The Stockwell Memorial

Another contender for the graffiti/mural theme day was the Stockwell Memorial. However, because of the stories around it, I left it until today. The mural itself is has a range of themes, I invite you to visit Mr Onionbagblog's page on the subject to read the background of them all.

The one I've selected here is to commemorate Violet Szabo, probably one of the bravest people you have never heard about. The Wikipedia summary of her life is here, and her dedicated museum site is here. And if you are after interesting, related, stuff to browse - don't forget Leo Marks and his love poem. A view of another part of the mural is here

The City Daily Photo phenomenon has exploded from its early days in 2005, when I started. Now, there are hundreds of sites around the world that participate, a large proportion of them posting daily. Clicking around opens up a fascinating glimpse into other lives and cultures, there are two ways you can do this. Either click on the image to be taken to the portal wher you will see thumbnails of the daily posts, or click on a link of one of the hundreds listed here. I bet you can find your favourite city.
