Elizabatz inspired me to post some murals and messages from Belfast, Ireland.
Murals about ‘The Troubles’:
The previous is in a lighter vein, as are these messages:
Amen.
“Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah”
…or on a wall.
Elizabatz has a nice art site too. Check it out.
John's Space ..... 
Those end gables from Northern Ireland are spot on for this theme!

Belfast is the master of powerful murals. It is a great city to visit, and a place to pay attention to reality. I loved the peacefulness of the colorful dove. And got a chuckle on the teenager sign.

Message in a bottle! Is that a Sting reference? 😃
I noticed something. The sign says, “One Man One Vote.” That tells me that is an old sign.

Yes, Sting. Yea, could be old , referencing the 1920s. Don’t know.

I liked the color, and message, of the second picture, John. I did notice history on the walls of many buildings in Belfast when visiting. Great murals and graffiti there.

Interesting, the murals are substantially more political than the graffiti, which to me appeared to be hopeful, like the dove. But Belfast has endured a different reality than most places. Thanks for the shout out!

LOL for the message to teenagers John, I LOVED that one!! Your Irish messages reminded me of our journey to Scotland which was in the midst of their vote to secede from the EU. There were multiple paintings on buildings for both sides. It added to my appreciation of their quandary.

These are amazing. Belfast has a lot of spirit. The pub did a tremendous job on its mural on both the top and the bottom. The bouncer with the club is the best. This must be a lively pub.
