I am joining with Sami and others for Monday Mural.
This photo is dated November 2021. Clearly I have a reserve of mural photos. On second glance I found it quite interesting. There is a lot to see in the mural but if the artist is trying to say something, it passes me by. If the artist is painting for fun, that is fine with me.

I am with you. Alton means nothing to me - but the mural is fun.
ReplyDeleteEC, thanks for mentioning the name. You missed a high up 'a'. It is Altona, a beach side suburb here.
DeleteThank you for the clarification. It's a fun mural, for sure.
DeleteDarla, it did take me a while to work it out.
DeleteIt is screaming "stolen land".
ReplyDeleteRoentare, or plenty to share?
DeleteWhere is this mural? Do we know who painted it?
ReplyDeleteI've just worked out Hels that the name on it says Altona, so it must be in Altona Village. Painter unknown.
DeleteThe letters spell ALTONA, a Melbourne suburb, though there is one in SA also. It's very bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteWell done River. I just worked it out myself and it would be in Altona Village.
DeleteThose letters I see are A L O N meaning Oak Tree!
ReplyDeleteMargaret, I didn't know that. I wonder where that came from.
DeleteThe origan is Hebrew apparently Andrew.
DeleteAh thanks. I knew its Quercus? name
DeleteBright and cheerful - I like the smiling fish.
ReplyDeleteJB, happy fish are sweeter to eat.
DeleteFish!
ReplyDeleteMore fish than people. The planet is doing ok.
DeleteIt's very colourful. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Andrew. I've entered your link :)
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Sami.
DeleteAlton looks like quite a happy place to live. That may have been all he was trying to say. That or, 'if you're a miserable ass, you don't belong in Alton.' One or the other, probably.
ReplyDeleteI like your interpretation Debby.
DeleteI'm glad some of the other commenters figured it out -- I couldn't even hazard a guess!
ReplyDeleteSteve, I am ashamed I did not work it out immediately. I am terribly for not looking properly at my own photos.
DeleteBeautiful public Art. I think where this kind of Art exist people is more happyiest.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yes, I would suggest that people who live in that area are generally quite happy with their lives.
DeleteI like the simple cartoon-like style of the Altona mural.
ReplyDeleteThanks YP. Murals of Putin with a dagger through his forehead can be depressing.
DeleteI immediately saw a scene with trucks, cars, and a village around a lake with a sailboat. It must be near a sea or ocean because of the fish. I also like the doodles the artist created, too. I really LIKE it a LOT.
ReplyDeleteB & H, art can be a low form and still be so entertaining. I wish more people would take more notice of these temporary works.
