Can´t Look At You

 
 
Mural taken  in Perth CBD in March near GLOBE.
Artist to me unknown as I had again no time to investigate...
Maybe our host can help out?
 
Promise: If there will be a next time I will take the time to try and  find the artist! 
Though ... not every time you find one. 
See the mural in the background here:
 
 
Crazy what the cam makes out of the colors, huh?
 
 This is for Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals.  
 
 The series:
 

 
"30 bizarre wildlife facts that are actually true
 
Ducks can surf
 
When you think of mallards, you usually think of a pond in the park. But in California, some of these ducks have joined the locals and are surfing on the beaches of Santa Barbara.

Researchers have observed the birds letting waves carry them onto the beach, where they stuck their beaks into the sand to dig up and eat Pacific sand crabs. The researchers speculated that this behavior could be “a byproduct of adaptation to human-dominated landscapes.”

To a VERY new week (see last post, if you like, my life´s turned upside down again).

I know the mural, it was painted in July 2014 by Sydney artist Beastman and Adelaide artist Vans the Omega. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Iris.
