"Unexpected intrusions of beauty. This is what life is."
—Saul Bellow

Australian Steve Wheen, 34, who lives in London, has been using flowers and small-scale objects to transform urban potholes for the last three years. The self-styled 'guerrilla gardener' has created mini gardens all around his home city but has now decided to bring joy to commuters across Europe with his unusual pothole creations.
Do something to surprise someone with an 'unexpected intrusion of beauty' today.
