As the blog Jaunted points out, one of the great reasons to travel is to see something unusual or unexpected. The above image is just one example of quirky public art created by an artist in France. Check out the full gallery here: http://www.filthyluker.deviantart.com/gallery/

The latest and coolest example of public art comes to us by way of deviantART's FilthyLuker, whose <EM>Octopied Building</EM> is waving its tentacles at locals and visitors alike in some unnamed French town.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.jaunted.com/story/2008/8/10/133353/974/travel/Octopied+France+Welcomes+You+With+Open+Arms">A quick peek at FilthyLuker's gallery reveals a treasure trove of similar projects, from trees and bushes with eyes and awareness (witness a real <A href="http://filthyluker.deviantart.com/art/bad-hair-day-91277510">bad hair day</A>) to urban wastelands that suddenly sprout life, as in <A href="http://filthyluker.deviantart.com/art/urban-regeneration-53788331">urban regeneration</A>.
