You can read about our trip here.
This 35 x 20mt (115 x 65ft) mural was painted in 2009 on the outside wall of the Deepwater Plaza shopping centre by Australians Paul Haggith and Simon Sawell.
It's named "Land, Sea and Air - Whale Dreaming".
I should probably have crossed the road to capture the whole thing...
It's very well suited to the area, with the whales that cross the sea in this area, fish, seagulls, pelicans and native flowers.
If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you.

It's great to see all three!
Thanks for contributing Tom, will try and link it if I can.
DeleteWhales and sea birds are some of my favorite creatures -- those are lovely murals of them. The most endangered species in your photos is K-Mart. Almost all of the US ones have closed, and definitely all the ones that were formerly near us. Maybe they have different owners in Australia!
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thanks Mae, I thought it was a great mural too.
DeleteK-Mart was bought out from the American company by Wesfarmers and they have 228 stores across Australia and New Zealand.
Nice mural.
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam.
DeleteAside from the whale, they are a bit different being single images.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrew.
DeleteThose are all beautiful ones! The whale looks so joyful, the shadows are well done, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Iris.
DeleteThis is a lovely mural, Sami. I can't believe K-Mart allowed this, since it would have been painted over in the states. It just goes to show how much more enlightened Australia is to wall art than that in the states.
ReplyDeleteI assume the outside walls belong to the shopping centre anyway, there's a lot more shops indoors, that's probably just K-mart's back wall. Wall art is very popular here and new murals coming up all the time.
DeleteLately I am having problems with linky lists. Here is the adress of my post: https://geriatrixfotogallerie.wordpress.com/2019/07/01/streetart-harbour-of-linz-2/
ReplyDeleteSorry Traudel, not having any luck entering link manually either. I've sent Linky tools an email to see what could be wrong, but expect that due to the States being quite behind our time, nothing will be done until tomorrow.
DeleteLove the flowers, great idea. I have trouble to get on your linky list must be a bug somewhere.
ReplyDeleteThanks SC, sorry about the link, hoping for a fix by tomorrow.
DeleteNo Linky possible today....:(
ReplyDeleteSorry Marianne, hoping for a fix to the linky problem by tomorrow.

Boa semana

Sorry Jackie, I thought it was just with WordPress blogs but it's no working for blogspot either. I've contacted linky to see what's happening.
DeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteThat Pelican is like three dimensional; pretty work!
Feeling kind of sad... also grateful: http://bit.ly/2J49iZH

Mariette
So sorry for your loss Mariette, it was good that you got to see your Dad again for a final goodbye.

DeleteThese are great! I have a few more of the electricity boxes but it'll be a while before I post them, Sami. Still busy writing up the Azores. :) :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanne. Murals are so popular everywhere now :) I've been enjoying your trip to the Azores, and feeling a bit envious.
DeleteThese murals are awesome! I love the pelican.
