World's Greatest Street Art?

Taking a break from Paris pictures to wish my American contacts a:

HAPPY 4th of JULY!!

 

This is one of the best examples of "street art" I have ever seen. The 3-story high mural by Brazilian muralist Eduardo Kobra is his interpretation of the famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt ("V-J Day in Times Square", 1945). Kobra has traveled the world to adorn buildings with his monumental-sized, bright-colored murals.

 

Seen on the "High Line", an elevated park/walk reclaimed from an unused railroad line, Manhattan, New York City.
