I love all types of art and admire creative people since I have no creativity at all. We flew into London a few hours earlier and I was trying to stay awake so I decided to check out the murals of Brick Lane in East London. I exited from the Tube station, took a wrong turn, and ended up near the East London Mosque. Interesting area. I got my bearings and found an amazing number of murals and paintings, not just on Brick Lane but in surrounding parks. Absolutely amazing and a great place to check out - and then have a curry afterwards!
I took these photos in East London in October 2016.

Because of a closure of the A1, we had to drive through Darlington, and in doing so I saw a sign for 'train sculpture', so we followed them, until the signs stopped. But we picked them up again, and through a huge industrial estate we found the parking area. Up a grass bank full of butterflies and scattered with orchids, we came on the statue.
It is rather splendid, if a little hard to find.

To celebrate the rich railway heritage of Darlington, this sculpture was commissioned and created in 1997 by David Mach.
Visitors can park at the Morrisons Morton Park shopping area and walk along special footpaths to reach the sculpture. Once there, the adventurous can climb to the platform overlooking the train from above. The sculpture is signposted from surrounding roads.
The Darlington “Brick Train” was opened on Monday, 23rd June 1997 by Lord Palumbo of Walbrook is situated next to Morrisons on Morton Park Industrial Estate.
Modelled on the 1938 record setting, 126mph steam locomotive “Mallard”. Funded by the National Lottery, Wm Morrison Supermarkets, Northern Arts, Department of National Heritage, Darlington Borough Council and headed by sculptor David Mach the project reputedly cost c £760k.
A total of 185,000 bricks were used in its construction along with 170 cubic meters of concrete. The train weighs 15,000 tonnes and covers an area of 600sq meters. It is of hollow construction and measures 23ft high by 130ft long. It took a team of 34 brick layers, labourers and apprentices 21 weeks to build.
In addition, there are even 20 special ‘bat’ bricks built in at various places to encourage the nocturnal creatures to use it as their home. Local schools also donated ‘time capsules’ which were put inside the train.

Another CKC outing in downtown Raleigh. We hit the jackpot on a cool spot for photos. Can't wait to go back!

I wonder why the felt the need to point out that the bus had wheels. Maybe they meant "tracks."
