It's from the DIY Rainbow Crossings page. For the Sydney Mardi Gras the Sydney City council put in a rainbow pedestrian crossing along the parade route. The state govt. ripped it up in the middle of the night. In response people all around the world have been doing their own temp. rainbow crossings in chalk.
(for the benefit of foreigners, blue plaques are signs which are affixed to the past residencies of notable people, commemorating the link between notable figures of the past and the buildings in which they lived and worked. it is a uniquely successful means of connecting people and place. this seems to be a funny fake one, and thus falls under the 'guerilla marketing aspect of this thread, imo.)

IEMZA has been featured here before, but this recent example of their work caught my eye and my imagination.

i think this is a fine project. i'd like to see more derelict buildings and ships, etc used for public art.
many more fine examples at the website of the Black Duke of Lancaster Project.
