STREET ART #133 - A bird mural project on Ilha da Flores, Azores (Portugal)

[digi-me]

The Azores, that are located in the Atlantic Ocean, consists of 9 islands. The westernmost is Ilha da Flores. It only has close to 4000 inhabitants. It's small, but offers beautiful landscape and wonderful hiking possibilitis along the westernmost coast of Europe. We chose to stay on the west coast, in Faja Grande. When we left the island, we had to take a taxi to the eastern side, to Santa Cruz, the small "capital" where the airport is located. On our way to Santa Cruz das Flores and the airport, we passed an old abandoned house close to the city. We saw a beautiful bird painted on one of the walls. The taxi driver told us that the artist is an Amarican named Morgan. During one week she painted a series of murals with birds.

After check- in we had a few hours to explore this very small town. At the airport we saw these two murals. Both painted by Morgan.

On our walk around town we saw several murals with seabirds and flowers painted by Morgan. On her web-site I read that she has done fifteen murals with images of birds and flowers on Ilha das Flores. She did this mural project in 2017. Beautiful murals of birds and flowers found on the island.

As we continued our walk, we discovered there are more murals with other motives than birds. Santa Cruz has around 900 inhabitants and the city is so small that you have seen it all within a couple of hours. We were therefore quite surprised to see so many murals. When I checked Morgan's web site I saw all the murals she has painted here on the island. I also discovered that there are some we didn't get to see, because we didn't get around to every street in town.
