<p>Dunedin is a chilly, windy, rainy city, and its historic buildings are mostly made of grey granite stone. It’s aptly known and the “Edinburgh of the South.” Indeed, many Scots have settled in this part of New Zealand, drawn perhaps by the green hills, wild seas, plentitude of sheep, and other similarities to their homeland. The city center features a Presbyterian church, a Neo-Gothic cathedral, and even a monument to Scotland’s greatest poet, Robert Burns. So when it comes to street art, you might think a carved sheep (above) might be as radical as the city would get. Nae, laddie!</p>

<p>Dunedin looks like Edinburg. Upper Left: Robert Burns monument Lower Right is Larnoch Castle on a hilltop of the nearby Otago Pennisula.</p>
<p>Dunedin has a penchant for street art, and some of it is pretty edgy. What I liked best is how Dunedin’s artists go big and bold. Many of the city’s multicolored murals take up whole sides of big buildings, some several stories high. Often the artists paint walls next to parking lots, where the art can be seen for blocks around, like this penguin next to a grocery store:</p>
