Flower Power

Red tulips may not be your choice for hood (or roof) ornament, but it seems to work for Munich’s Wedding Planner at http://www.weddlinghelfer.de/ – “turning your wedding into a dream”. What’s perhaps even more interesting than this tiny red car rolling through town with tulips in it, is the decorative element on the building behind it. You will find these images all through Munich, mostly as design elements on non-descript buildings built in the 1950-70s. I am not sure the history of these illustrations, but they have an incredibly diverse range of subjects, and in some cases are the only decorative element on building exteriors.
