Sofles Creates a Car Park that makes People Smile!

 The under cover car park at the Benalla library was not a place you really wanted to go, but since Sofles has spread his magic it is now a place of great joy. Every person that I saw walk through the space, no matter how fast or slow, they did it with a smile on their face.

A stunning mass of colours, shapes, symbols and names, everywhere you look you see things that please the eye. It is a photographer's dream. How many photos are too many?

Go visit this amazing space, or enjoy my photos of this huge 'wall' sprayed by Sofles, who is known as Australian graffiti royalty.
