Basketball In Space

 

I show you the whole canvas as it shows the groups that are there: Some creative and some just jealous taggers. But they respect one another!
 
I went Saturday on a rainy day cause the day before kids really played basketball - and you are not allowed to take pics then...
 
 

 The artist is WORK SHO - I found nothing online, reckon it´s the kids who play there.
 
This is for Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals.
 
(I´ve learned that some of you think these are my words, my opinion, but it is from the internet and I think it´s interesting. so I share.
All orange text is links, you can click on it for more info, but now, here goes)

"33 retro dishes that are rarely served today
 

 Vichyssoise
 
This chilled soup was invented by a French chef at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in New York in 1917 and was a staple on every fine-dining menu for decades. Leeks, onions, potatoes, chicken broth, and cream are cooked and pureed together to create this creamy delicacy. Today, Vichyssoise is only found in old-fashioned restaurants—a shame, because by now we'd finally perfected its pronunciation!"

Have a great start to the week.

Although very busy and crowded, I still find the mural very nice. And suitable for the surroundings. As for the soup, I know the name but have never eaten it.

River said...

The mural is fabulous. I think it might be hard to play basketball in space though, with no gravity the ball would just float away.
I never liked the thought of cold soup, to me soup is something that warms you from the inside on winter days.

Iris Flavia said...

Maybe space is crowded after all? I never have had the soup, either...

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, have you seen the YouTube-film Space Oddity? Even a guitar is hard to control in space ;-)
Agreed, soup is for winter and warm!

Tom said...

...Iris, you found a bright mural with plenty of energy!

Sami said...

I know the name of the soup, but never tasted it either. Nice and colourful mural with a green man, probably visiting from space :). Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Iris.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Tom, fitting for a youth-center :-)

Iris Flavia said...

Sami, they are among us ;-) I mean, who knows?

gigi-hawaii said...

I love the mural. And that chilled soup looks delicious!

RedPat said...

The mural makes a fun area for the kids, Iris.

Iris Flavia said...

Those kids run lose there!

Iris Flavia said...

Sadly the mural will be gone soon...

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, RedPat, and I think is was created by them, too!

Iris Flavia said...

From kids for kids?

Hi Iris, that mural is wonderful! For kids...and kids at heart (68 years old), like myself. LOL! I have never had chilled soup before, thank you so much for your posts. I really appreciate them...and you.

Bill said...

What a fantastic mural.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you dear Linda, and dito - your posts always put life into a good light! Let us always stay kids at heart - I sure am. And intend to stay...

Iris Flavia said...

From kids to kids!

Ha ha, I'm glad you found Henry in space to go with that mural. They're both such fun. I hope it's a Greta start to the new week. hugs-Erika

Great mural! So full of life.
I have never had vichyssoise but I guess my potato leek soup is a humble relative.

Iris Flavia said...

Henry really was in stratosphere, it was a school project, hugs ;-)

Iris Flavia said...

I never had that soup, either and agree with you, even untasted!

DVArtist said...

Nice mural. I have never had vichyssoise before.

Iris Flavia said...

Me, neither and cold soup... hm, dunno.
