Monday Mural

I'm joining in with Sami and others for Monday Mural. 

These might be the oldest murals I have in my mural photo folder, 2021. They must have been taken within our Covid five kilometre 'exercise' boundary. The first one is a bit interesting.

  1. Perhaps it is my age, or I have led a sheltered life, but I don't understand any of them. 🤔

    1. Meant to say, I like them but don't understand the artist's message if there is one....

    2. Frankly JayCee, nor do I.

  2. I do love the colour and often the quirkiness that murals provide.

    1. I've absolutely no idea Hels. I roam, meaningless at times and see things.

    1. Do you know where it is Roentare? We haven't crossed over yet, which is surprising, and I am sure we will.

  7. Ooh! I wish my artistic skills were a fraction of these. Be well, Andrew.

    1. Except Sami, I don't think the toucan colours are correct but it it's not bad.

  12. Nice to see that the first one incorporated those prison barred windows. No doubt there are convicts within regretting that they stole loaves of bread and a couple of sheep.

  13. YP, while it seems random, as some convicts were treated very harshly, others were made freemen and given land or were employed to utilise their skills, they went on to make Australia what it is now, for better or worse. There were few women in the early days, so the sheep stealers became very fond of sheep.

  14. Not bad at all. There’s a bit of information online about the artist Bailer

    1. Yes, there often is and sometimes I look up the artist.

  15. I do like the colours. We probably all see different things in these murals.

    1. Fun60, quite good use of colours really.

  16. I like the colours too. I rarely understand what murals mean but try to get a message from them - probably not the right one.

    1. Pat, I am similar. Sometimes I don't even see what is in my own photos until someone mentions something.

  17. Sort of a tropical fantasia, isn't it?

  18. The third picture makes the mural look like it's resting against the building instead of being part of it.

  19. The colours are beautiful but I wonder what if in a thousand years time if aliens arrived on our planet with all humans gone what they would make of them.

    1. Thelma, maybe the planet would not have a living animal or plant and this will be what they think what earth looked like, everywhere.

  24. That bailor.com.au website was interesting. I went off last night after reading this to look up Melbourne street art. I forgot to come back and leave a comment.

I was a bit emo

I had a nice weekend away. The hotel was not that posh but quite nice, and on the Geelong waterfront. Unbeknownst to me until an hour or so ...
