Yotaheads 2

Still discovering more Yotaheads. All within a short walking distance of our neighborhood. How's this for special: I scored a double. Right in front of the Hemkop on Linnegaten.


Of the two images below, the Yotahead on the left was found near the Fish Church (feskekorka in Swedish). This one, like the double above, starts close to the ground.
I would love to find a Yotahead that covers part of the building facade and extends down onto the ground. I'm not asking anyone to do this, but if they did...

The Yotahead on the right was on Linnegaten as well, close by to the double. It no longer exists. May have been up for two weeks at most. Ephemeral art.




Someone had mentioned that this was a possibility. As Spring approaches, Goteborg kicks into gear and ramps up its program of beautifying the city. Graffiti is an eyesore; therefore it must be exterminated. Thus, graffiti is chemically scrubbed away. Well, not all of it. Most of the other Yotaheads I've photographed survive. In side alleys and, even, in plain view. Governments usually aren't that efficient when it comes to these things. I see that Goteborg is no exception. As the British would say...Hurrah!
