Near South Bank in London you’ll find a CCTV camera disguised as a pixelated flower in a pot. Surely nobody would notice, right? Well, photographers notice! The pixel art was created by Invader, here’s more about it.

A Moment on the Cobbles
Óbidos is a walled town north of Lisbon, all cobbled lanes and whitewashed walls. I spotted a street cleaner stopped for a moment waiting for her colleague to come down the road. I’d guess the straw hat over her headscarf is her own and on a street with no shade it was needed. They do…

I walked up to photograph the Beacon and found a cow there first. It watched me carefully, judging if I was worthy of visiting the Baltimore Beacon. Or maybe it was just resting in the hazy sun of a warm afternoon in West Cork.

Opera Lane has flower balls and wire butterflies strung on wires above the street, but I guess everyone else is used to them or didn’t notice them, looking down at their phones or walking along. I noticed, and my neighbour walking the street noticed too.
