Because You Are The Light

If you’ve been reading my diary long enough, you’ll know about my love of street art.  You’ll also know that there’s a street art festival in ~Aberdeen called the NuArt festival.

And it was NuArt that gave me my favourite piece of street art.  Created by a German duo called Herakut, it was painted on the curved side of the Aberdeen Market (better known by me as the New Market) it was an absolutely stunning piece with a great message.

It’s been known for a while that the New Market is to be demolished and replaced.  The council had said that they wanted to save the mural, but it seems they got as far as art = art gallery, worked out that it would be too heavy and promptly gave up.

They started demolishing the New Market this week and the mural is now gone.  I’m going to miss it.  I’m going to miss looking for it when I’m back home and in town.

Here’s some pics of it in all it’s glory:
