Heidelberg is a larger city than I expected, and I think I've said as much. My host family lives in a small Heidelberg suburb called Kirchheim ("church-town"). My bike ride to downtown (and my school) is about 20 minutes, and I get to pass some really pretty sights. Perhaps my favorite is the under the bridge about 5 minutes from my residence, a street lined with graffitied concrete walls. I went for a closer look yesterday, a school and state holiday here, and the teens/young-twentyishes were taking the day to perfect their art as the younger kids skated on the nearby quarter pipes.
Making a fresh canvas.
Every possible place to spray that isn't a work of art is scratch for testing cans.
Adding the shine to another piece with a can of white paint.
This picture cut out the beer, but since there are no open-container laws here, the artists were causally sipping cold ones.
A finished piece.
I couldn't convince the artist of this one to get in the picture.
One of my favorites.
