I was just riding my bike down the Bike Boulevard in Palo Alto. Right at Lowell and Bryant I came across a pair of trees flanking the road. Each was decorated with playing cards, and on the back of the cards read “Keep Calm and Carry On.” Just below the cards were signs declaring, “2012: New Year Ahead.” I don’t know what this is about, but I love it. So simple and fun. Not a completely clear message which lets me muse and ponder its meaning. (Yes, both muse and ponder.) A google search revealed nothing as to why or what the cards in the trees are about.
Any ideas?
I hope it’s not promoting a Forever 21 or something, that would make me feel douche-y.
I like that this is essentially street art. But, not involving a paint can and stencil. And, it’s probably quite delightful to most who experience it.
