We shall start with a shot of the fantastic mural from the drone taking a couple of weeks ago. Here you can see that the building behind it is in need of some TLC. The area in front of it appears to be a nice little garden though.

Yesterday though, we drove past recording a 360 film which will be published later today on Youtube. We couldn't help but notice that the garden is being replaced by a building. Now, for all we know, the mural may be being preserved within that building. I can easily imagine it becoming an interesting wall in a bar or restaurant. But it will be beyond the vision of the casual observer.

Nothing lasts forever though. this is a shot we took after the mural had been painted. You can compare pictures to see how much the artwork has faded. So please don't think we are against progress. We fully understand that the murals don't last forever. That being said, we can still mourn their passing.

It isn't the first mural to have had its day. Many more that were painted during the previous Street Art festivals a decade ago have already bitten the dust. Let's revisit some of them. This one was painted by Millo, who later went on to adorn Millo's Tower in Geroskipou.

And this advert which appeared next to the Old Town Market is no longer with us. It was a big hit when it was drawn, as at the time the main route through Old Town was closed and traffic was diverted this way. So everybody got to see it being painted.
