Murals from our visit to Malta in June 2026. These were taken from the bus, so not perfect photos.

A mural I saw in St Julian's, when we visited Malta in June 2026.

St Julian's is next to the town where we were staying - Sliema - and is known as the entertainment capital of Malta, with its busy nightlife.

One evening we took a bus and went for after dinner drinks and a walk around the lively town. 

As we walked around I couldn't help noticing a mural in the distance and had to get closer to take photos :)

The mural was painted in a 6 storey high building, at 69 St George's Road, by local artist Micallef Grimaud, aka "Twitch", as per signature in the last photo.

A huge and colourful mural that I spotted when Jose and I were returning from a lunch with a former work colleague of his, when we were in Portugal in May/June 2026. 

Jose had to return to the area and stop at a petrol station while I crossed the street to photograph the mural :)

This was part of a multi-phase revitalization of the access to the tunnel leading to "Jardins da Parede" (Parede Gardens) -  a modern residential development in the Carcavelos-Parede Parish.

Painted in October & November 2025, by "YouthOne" - aka Adalberto da Costa Brito, a pioneering mural artist born in Angola in 1974, active since 1988, recognized as the oldest active street artist in Portugal.

Murals inside my local Riverton Library, in the City of Canning, spotted when Jose and I attended a workshop in March.

Couldn't find the name of the artist, but it includes local birds.

Outside, near the pool at the Leisureplex I found another mural, painted in 2024 by Stormie Mills, titled "The eyes behind the thick black rimmed glasses".

It portrays Dr Michael Lekias (1931-2022), a popular Greek Australian General Practitioner (family Doctor), who served his community for over 40 years. He was also the City of Canning's longest serving Mayor, from 1992 to 2008. He was instrumental in the funding and design of the Riverton Leisureplex and cut the ribbon when it was inaugurated in September 2001.

I'm back home, after an unexpected trip back to Portugal from where Jose and I had returned just 6 weeks before. 

My Dad had a stroke, then contracted aspiration  pneumonia due to being fed soup, and sadly left this world three days after my arrival in Portugal.

Almost the whole family managed to be present and hold Dad's hand and show their love and care. 

As a recent retiree I was lucky to have been able to just take off and spend a month with my Mother to help her sort things. Luckily my middle sister lives just 2 blocks away and Mom will carry on having the support she needs.

I didn't take a laptop, all I had was my mobile/cell phone to look at your Monday Murals every week, and so I didn't visit other blogs as it was all too complicated and time consuming. But I hope to start visiting you all again. Thanks for your understanding.
