With school out and cabin fever having set in somewhere around late April, you know what we’re going to recommend — a \#PhotoSafari across the city.

It’s time for your pod to mask up and venture into the outdoor wilds of the Queen City for a little exploration and some great photo taking. (Pssssst! While you’re out, there are plenty of local businesses and creatives who’d be happy to see you.)

Here are some recent favorites:

1. [**The Metropolitan** has set up a “Santa Station” (our words) to send a message to the North Pole.](https://www.instagram.com/p/CIb0n9JJ59g/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) It’s open until Dec. 24. There’s another mailbox at the Square of Trade of Tryon Streets
2. [A new(ish) mural by **Jalene Januze** is waiting for you on South Boulevard](https://www.instagram.com/p/CIoy0FBJ5b9/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link), near Beijing Chinese Restaurant. It’s perfect for expressing your North Carolina pride.
3. The artist known as **@CLTChalkArt** [painted a trash can in front of the Johnston YMCA](https://www.instagram.com/p/CI0Zd8vpmMO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) in NoDa. It joins other trash cans [we featured in October](https://www.charlotteiscreative.com/a-photo-tour-of-nodas-new-trash-cans/) by an array of Charlotte artists and depicts four scenes from the history of NoDa — from its birth as a mill village to its modern resurgence as Charlotte’s art hub.
4. While you’re in NoDa, here’s a fun one. **@StencilSpray** [challenged photographer **Brooke Brown (and new mural hunter)**](https://www.instagram.com/p/CI10JwJpXqR/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link)to find his latest work somewhere in Charlotte. He provided a photo only, no real clues. Brooke did it in less than a day — but it wasn’t easy. It was tucked away in the restroom of the TAC Gallery two blocks from the Johnston Y. Lots to see (and buy) in the gallery.
5. **Kyle Mosher**, one of the Black Lives Matter mural artists, just released a video by Maleek Loyd and about[a new mural he’s painted in South End at SPENGA Charlotte](https://www.instagram.com/p/CIqlqx1pbnG/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) on W. Tremont Ave.
