Photographs of Sunsets as Reflected through Shattered Mirrors by Bing Wright
Broken Mirror/Evening Sky is a series of images by New York photographer Bing Wright who captured the

New Murals from Blu on the Streets of Italy
Over the last year artist Blu has dropped
a number of killer murals in several Italian cities, most recently in Niscemi where he created the three-story piece above depicting a military figure playing a weaponized xylophone.
