Street Octopus — Lumen Street Theatre in Limerick, Ireland

Street Art - Ireland

A roadside vertical post aka bollard painted as a blue octopus with tentacles extending across the pavement, using the curb and cobbles to suggest movement. I love the use of multiple colors and the eyes & brows are wonderful!! 😁
