Public Art

I hugely approve of public art , be it street sculptures, community paintings or quirky celebrations of local events. And geocaching often takes you to places where some superb examples can be found. During my visit to Tyneside earlier this week, I had some free time between conference sessions so I raced across the Tyne Bridge on my way to Grainger Street in search of brass plaques set into the pavement.  What really appeals to me is that every day, thousands of people unknowingly walk over the  plaques which celebrate  random, everyday events that happen on any busy high street!
