Mandurah#7

 

 

Here is another wonderful mural our host showed me in Mandurah.

"The Guardian" is a mural located outside the Mandurah Community Museum in Mandurah, Western Australia, created by artist Celestin Hutchinson. 

 

Details are to come - for now the story:

 

 

Now details:

 

 

 

Now I´m going to cheat:

 

 

This for  Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals!

 

The Black Swan, Perth´s Icon

 

 

 

 Have a great Monday!

Let´s Go... Into The Water (Mandurah#6)

 

This is another find with our host, in Mandurah.

 

 

 

This is Charles Olaf Wilson (1838 - 1926) and the Leviathan. He played a significant part in the maritime history of Mandurah. He also was a photographer.

 

 

All I found was him - but reckon I am wrong as I neither found the mural and also it´s another style, I guess...

P.S. River asked in last post if I could work for ESE (count me in at rail hopefully soon again) from Australia and if, where I would live.

 

Sadly the answer is likely no as that would be a lot of visa-trouble and getting out and back into the country - and what to do with Ingo? 

 

But if... oh.... I may dream, huh? 

At first: Madeley. Cabin #101 (hey, I have my ice-cream-truck in the front each Sunday - on our parking lot! Post to come). And meet my Perth-friends.

Then I´d move to Carnarvon. Oh, I´d drive to the old Prawn Jetty to read a book each arvo.

Then  Broome. 

Then... Darwin, now this really is NT ;-)

I think back and forth, that would be my dream. Holidays... pop over at River´s for a cuppa!

Like my ice-cream-mate said, "see you in two years!"...

 

 If you celebrate: Happy Easter-Monday.

Birdies!!!! 140 Of Them!! #2

More murals by Graeme Miles Richards.

Please also note the shadows "the birds" create...

 

 

 

More next time, I don´t wanna "overload" you and encourage you to study all the beauties closely.

If you´d like to see one particular closer, let me know. 

 

This is of course for  Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals!

Happy Monday.

 

 

Birdies!!!! 140 Of Them!! #1

 

 

The artist is Graeme Miles Richards and here are pro-pics of this mural.

See last post - this is the city/country of murals and I am so happy to find (and sometime with our host even MEET the artists!).

 

For my own fun - and I hope yours, too! - I go in in detail. Might take some Mondays!

With interruptions, maybe... I speak of the city of murals after all...

 

 "Got it?"

 

 

All good things are three, right, so... hang on for more.

And... thank you, dear host... I was so happy to have found them after all - yikes I really have no sense of orientation, but at least didn´t end up in the park and found my way back to Madeley!

 

This is of course for  Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals!

 

Yes and... have a great Monday!

 

 

 

IT Is A ...

 

 

for...

 

 

Nicole´s SITAR!

 

See... Sami told me about two murals.

I didn´t find them.

Got more instructions.

Ingo helped me on the CAT-map (free bus in CBD, Perth Central Area Transit). I drove by myself and YIKES. 

WHERE.ARE.THESE.MURALS?! 

 

Went into a pharmacy to ask for help and got: "What is a mural?!"

 

Oh. Lordy... You live in the city of murals and...

OK, next shop and... I found this cuppa!!! 

How could I not...

 

 

It is safely home in Braunschweig now, pics still taken in the cabin in Madeley.

The  lady had no clue what a mural is but upon my explanation sent me to the park but I thought, nah... Sami would´ve said "park" then!

 

I found it, see tomorrow - I found both, stay tuned.

 

And this NIGHTMARE will always remind me with a smile that I find things on my own even if people fail to help (that is the pharmacy and that gift shop, NOT Sami or Ingo!!!! They tried their best with Mrs-has-no-orientation-whatsoever).

Aaaaand, tadaaaa (I´m always happy when I find):

 

Let´s go into detail?

This was a bit hard to capture, sorry - despite I had our host by my side (who is already in Subi!*) I had some trouble!

* Ingo, click the link. Subi is related to.... yes. And the division into wards is a bit like Braunschweig.
 

 

The Other Half (Mandurah#4)

 

 

Yah, I was... run over, forgotten!!! 

Nearly. 

Maybe my first half was really too scary!!! 

 

But I made my way through!

And whilst some at Sesame Street want to be "under the sea"...

 

 

We play for real!

And no, you cannot catch us! 

 

Reckon this, too, is by Karen Miller.

 

This for  Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals! Who helped me find this!

 

Henry´s alter ego, the Black Swan 

 

  Yuppsi, right there - have a nice new week!

 

I have to add this, it´s too funny, Spring is on the way!

 

 

 

This is a remake of... 

 

Did I hate that! LOL- Happy Spring!!! This is "Wahnsinn!"

 

 

Mandurah#3

 Mural again taken with out dear host!

 

 

 

 If I got it right the artist is Rover Rover but I found nothing appropriate relating to murals...
