Even though Rostock isn’t actually on the sea, it definitely has a maritime feel to it. So I wasn’t surprised, as I wandered along the river, to see many moored boats.
And I shouldn’t have been surprised to run into this very famous person, but I was!

Maybe I’ll see you there!

Rostock is on my short list and I will definitely check out these places. I guess that the Gorton Fisherman might be considered street art but is not graffiti which I totally disapprove.
I’m with you, not a fan of graffiti!
What great street art and something so unexpected. Thanks! Like Michael..now I can’t get the jingle out of my head and I’m not even a fish person

I love the way towns are using ugly buildings for some fabulous street art. This looks great and obviously has some significance to the area!
