The image shows several slices of whole grain bread placed on a piece of brown parchment paper. The bread has a dark brown color with visible seeds and grains, indicating it is likely a whole grain or multigrain variety. The slices are thick and have a rustic appearance, with a rough texture and a slightly uneven surface. The background is blurred, focusing attention on the bread slices. The bread is cut into even slices, with one slice in the foreground being the most prominent, while the others are slightly out of focus in the background. The overall composition highlights the natural and wholesome qualities of the bread.

The City Has Eyes (8 Photos)
From an earthquake detection “kit” in a school hallway to a trash bin channeling Cookie Monster, googly eyes have quietly become one of the most playful forms of street-level intervention. This collection brings together eight clever, charming, and unexpected urban artworks from around the world — where a pair of eyes is all it takes to give life to objects, trees, and everyday structures. Featuring moments from sidewalks, forests, parks, and roundabouts, this is public art at its most fun.

Cookie Monster Bin
A blue trash bin with white googly eyes becomes a comical likeness of Cookie Monster, especially with a real cookie placed just inside the opening like a mouth. The transformation invites smiles from passersby and encourages playful interaction with public infrastructure.
Earthquake Detection Kit
A neon yellow sign taped to a beige brick wall reads “Earthquake Detection Kit,” with a pair of wobbling googly eyes stuck below the text. A tongue-in-cheek joke, it turns an otherwise dull wall into a moment of humor.
Tree Stump Creature
A weathered tree stump near a lake is brought to life with two oversized googly eyes. Its gnarled roots resemble crawling limbs, making the stump appear like a wide-eyed forest creature peeking out from the shoreline.
Staring Sculpture
A perforated spherical sculpture at a roadside location in Bend, Oregon has had a pair of googly eyes added. The eyes give the metal orb an expressive, animated look that humorously contrasts its abstract, static design.
Pac-Man Bollards – By Vanyu Krastev
A cracked concrete traffic bollard shaped like a ball is transformed into a character resembling Pac-Man with the simple addition of two googly eyes. The mouth-like crack and playful gaze give personality to the damaged structure.
Tree Hug – By Vanyu Krastev
A tree growing through a metal fence is given a whimsical face using googly eyes placed on the bars. The tree’s growth forms a natural mouth-like shape that, combined with a stub resembling a nose, creates a surprisingly expressive character.
Giant Tree Monster
A tall evergreen tree is turned into a towering creature using two oversized inflatable eyeballs. The result is a hilarious and surreal visual that transforms an ordinary tree into a cartoonish park guardian.
Deer Sculpture Surprise
A bronze sculpture of a mother deer and her fawn is playfully transformed with large googly eyes. The addition gives the pair a startled, cartoon-like expression, making this realistic public artwork suddenly feel animated and silly.
With just two plastic eyes, artists and pranksters around the world are giving personality to the inanimate. These small interventions highlight the joy of noticing the overlooked and reshaping the mundane. Whether it’s a trash bin, tree, or bollard, nothing is safe from being googly-eyed — and we’re all better for it.
