What A Lovely Idea,

to make bus shelters,

 look more attractive,

 a tram stop at Dabrowskiego Square in Łódź, Poland is blossoming with dried flowers, giving pedestrians and commuters a fresh view on the intersection of their natural and built environments,

 the project, titled “Nostalgia”, was designed by local art student Dominika Cebula, and pays homage to the long tradition of flower selling at Dabrowskiego Square,

 “The idea of flowery bus stop came from willingness to be closer to nature and to juxtapose the colors of flowers with the grayness seeping out of concrete city,” Cebula explained,

 She notes that many of the flowers used in the project were from bouquets received by her friends and family,

 installed this summer, Cebula’s project was selected as part of an initiative by Łódźkie Centrum Wydarzen and will be on view at least until the end of October, 2019,

 I was going to ask if such an idea would ever take off over here,

but then I remembered the number of wrecked bus shelters we so often see, and have used since arriving here and using public transport, the art form of most of the ones we have come across is best described as 'Vandal Modern'.
