Underground Art

I don't have a car and probably won't have a car for ages.  I admit it would be LOVELY to have a car - but when it comes down to it - I'm more fit because we don't have a car, have a stroller to push and everything is so relatively nearby - that one can (and several do) survive without one in Jyv�skyl�.

One thing about not having a car is not getting to maneuver in the crazy, tight underground parking lots...and where most people in Finland drive a standard - I don't know how they do these turns that are tighter than a slinky toy!

So today I went downtown with a friend to do some shopping and have some kid-free time...and when we got into this parking lot - I nearly died when I saw the art.

And in case you were wondering what the Tupperware ladies cruise around in....(I am assuming you have to be making pretty big bucks to get your own vehicle!)

We almost parked in front of this and I was in such a state of shock and laughter - I asked my friend if she didn't mind backing up - so I could take a photo.

Once we parked - I turned around and this was opposite of the woman and her banana.

I don't know who does the art for the underground parking lots or if they require approval or not.  It's definitely interesting and if you're parked in front of a green naked ram/man - or a lady with her va-jayjay showing and a banana over her head - you're not going to forget where you parked!! (Very handy for the holiday season I imagine).

And my husband wonders why I think bringing my camera everywhere is not only appropriate (mostly) but necessary for this blog!!!
