Monday Mural - Woman

To celebrate International Women's Day on the 8th March, I wanted to post a mural of a woman painted by a woman. 
Looking through unposted photos of murals I came across this one, which was taken during a holiday in Portugal in August/September 2017.

 Painted on an electrical station in the suburb of Torre, Cascais for Muraliza 2016 by Paula Bonet , a Spanish book illustrator and painter.

It's entitled "Sa Nuvia Morta" after the song of Spanish singer Joan Miquel Oliver, whose song "Sa nuvia morta" (Her dead girlfriend) is sung in Catalan.
If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you;
just follow the Linky steps below.   Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters.  Looking forward to your mural finds this week.  

Monday Mural Meme goes lives at 12,01am Perth, Western Australian time.
Thanks, Sami.

My daughter Karina also celebrates her birthday on the 8th March.
Gosh, I can't believe I've already got a 35 year old daughter! 
I'm looking forward to her arrival on the 14th March, when we will both celebrate our birthdays with a party at home.  
We are so proud of her, she's such a brilliant young lady - intelligent, hard-working, independent, friendly and very close to her family and friends.
Happy birthday to Karina!

      Thanks Elizabeth. I suppose she has some of my features and even some of my temperament.

    A mural like that would be perfect for a hairdressing salon.

    Happy International Women's Day, Sami. As a man I can say with confidence that strong, caring women have contributed so much to my lifeI can barely acknowledge it.

    Oh, this made me smile very big, Sami! The pictures.
    The mural is lovely, too. Important in a way I am not sure about, we want to be equal after all. Sad we still need a day for women only, but reckon we will need that for a long time still.

      Thanks Iris.
      Just yesterday I had the same thought, until when will we need a "Women's day"?

      Thanks Bertie. What a coincidence on the birthdays. I have a lot of family and friends who have birthdays in March.

      I've never had trouble with any sites before, including Bertie's. Today I can't get on the site because my ISP (Firefox) believes it is malicious. According to the message, there is NOTHING I can do to visit the site. Apparently it's on Bertie's end. I hope this message reaches her, because I'm going to see if there's a way I can get around the problem.

    3. Bleubeard and ElizabethMonday, March 09, 2020

      Ignore the last message. I was able to work around the problem by going to Bertie's profile and clicking on the blog from there. I hope no other Firefox user encounters this problem.
