Street Art Gallery: Melbourne Australia - Part 1 Thanks to Google for the cameras, to Google's anonymous photographers for their control of those cameras to  +Jason Boyes  for the inspiration (Boyes Collection: Street Art, Artisans & the Ramdom Muse ) and to +Enrique Alcalde Morales  for the word of encouragement ...just when I needed it.

This is done by clicking in the upper left of the Maps screen,which gives one the capability of sliding from one year to another.
