When do you ever take the time to look up, and appreciate what's around?
It's harder than you think.
But, as the 'More Poetry is Needed' artwork which is on part of the former St David’s Shopping Centre will soon be gone for good , we've looked at some of the other examples of great, and free, artwork you can see in Swansea.
The building is being demolished to make room for the city's new 3,500 capacity digital arena scheme, known as Swansea Central Phase One.
However, elsewhere in the city there are places to visit where you can see other examples of street art.
Dylan Thomas murals
The Dylan Thomas trail sees famous characters from the poet and writer's life depicted in the Uplands area.
Among them is the mural, pictured above.
Derricks Records, Oxford Street
Derricks Records on Oxford Street sports a vibrant mural, featuring landmark band art from the past half a century – from The Rolling Stones to The Who, Nirvana, and The Beatles.
Kings Lane
This piece of art, depicting a Welsh dragon, green grass and blue skies can be found at Kings Lane.
High Street, Volcano Theatre
Artist Pure Evil painted an enormous Liz Taylor mural on the side of the Volcano Theatre building on High Street.
The landmark which graces the outside of the Volcano Theatre , was painted by the street artist, whose real name is Charless Uzzell Edwards.
Dating back to 2016, the artwork was painted freehand - with the artist from Cwmtwrch taking two days and using a cherry picker to complete the work.
St Helen's
Two of the greatest names in Glamorgan’s cricketing history have been immortalised at the team’s Swansea home.
Images of Don Shepherd and Alan Jones have been created on murals at St Helen’s rugby and cricket ground on Mumbles Road, alongside an image of the iconic Mumbles train.
High Street tunnel
The tunnel which links High Street to The Strand underwent a face-life in 2017. Artists were given free reign to use the walls as a canvass, and brought a welcome explosion of colour to the thoroughfare.
Humphrey Lane
It might be a quiet back lane, but the walls behind what was once The Tenby pub have long had eye-catching murals on them. The work of art makes a diverting change from drab walls.
Fabian Way
Those coming into Swansea by car will have seen the paintings on boardings alongside Fabian Way. It features images of the city, as well as of it's most famous son Dylan Thomas.
High Street
Artist Photini Matsi, originally from Cyprus, graduated from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. The Cardiff-based designer designed this shop front on High Street as part of the ‘From the Station to the Sea’ project.
Salubrious Passage
Just off Wind Street there is a tribute to poet Dylan Thomas. Situated on what was once the Dylan Thomas Bookstore, is a flying cherub with three marble books engraved which feature the first line of his famous poem, Fern Hill.
The Marina
This striking depiction of Captain Cat has stood in the maritime quarter for many years. The character appears in Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood, reliving his times at sea.
Maritime Quarter
Yet another tribute to Dylan Thomas is situated in the Maritime Quarter. The metal likeness to 'The Rimbaud of Cwmdonkin Drive' was made by sculptor John Doubleday and was unveiled in 1984
Brynmill
A number of benches in Brynmill Park were painted last year. In addition to those in the park, a number of benches have also been painted near the Cenotaph on Mumbles Road, to mark the centenary of the First World War.
