On the way there I was surprised with two murals, which I'll post in the coming weeks, and on the way back I noticed another mural just as I drove by, and had to turn around to photograph it.
Painted on both sides of wastewater cabinets in a small park, they are part of a curated public art series presented by Water Corporation, entitled "Splash of Colour" which celebrates water conservation in our communities.
The artwork was painted by Western Australian artist Mike Barker, known as Shime.
A plaque on the artwork reads: "Young and old the feathered locals come, swim and stretch out on the water. When they dive below they see the wonder of patterns and designs. But if you sit still for long enough and just watch, you might be able to see what they see as well".
If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you; just follow
the Linky steps below. Once you start looking you find murals everywhere.
Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters. Looking forward to your mural finds posted this week.

DeleteI would love to leave comments to Alice DeForest, but there's no way to sign in using Blogger. And I can't leave LuiZ, because I'm not on Instagram. I realize this sounds silly, but I still don't own a cell phone, and you really NEED one to join Instagram.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you needed to join instagram to comment Elizabeth. I am on Instagram but I comment via the blog as I'm not too clued about about Instagram. I have noticed that sometimes I can't leave comments on some Wordpress blogs, but it might have something to do with their settings, because it doesn't happen with all Wordpress blogs.
DeleteAs for Instagram, it is very clear at the bottom of each post you must log in or sign up to leave comments.
DeleteAlice's WordPress blog is the first I have ever found that doesn't have the blogger option. All the others I have been to have a place that shows I'm on blogger.
Um mural repleto de cor e arte. Boa semana Sami.
ReplyDeleteSim bastante colorido. Obrigada Sandra.
DeleteGreat shots Sami!:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy, nice to see you're blogging again.
