Monday Murals - Electrical boxes V

I've realized that I have a dozen or so draft posts with murals, so I'll be posting older ones once in a while.
A couple more of Porto's electrical boxes on Rua das Flores (Flowers street), a pedestrian street near Sao Bento train station, taken during our 2017 visit to Portugal.


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.

  6. Hooray! Another Mona Lisa face! Most of those boxes on the streets of our town are also now decorated, but I haven't seen Mona.

    I would lke to check the graffiti alley in our town, but it's a bit too confined to be safe for the moment. I wonder if coronavirus themed graffiti and murals have begun to appear there.

  9. Much better than boring grey boxes. Australia seems to be finally getting into painting utility boxes in a serious way.

    Beautiful boxes, it´s so easy (for an artist) to bring a bit of joy with this!

    1. The cow was just outside a souvenir shop, with the flag colours and symbol, I thought it was quite striking :)
      Yes, very little work to brighten up the street. Thanks Iris

  15. These murals give me a bit of a chuckle, Sami, something we all need as the effects of the Coronavirus affect our lives ever more greatly. I hope that you are doing well during this time of enforced confinement, and that the people of Perth are displaying a little more couth and common sense, than the frequenters of Bondi Beach!

    1. Glad they made you smile David. We all need cheering up. Even if people go to the beach in Perth, they are so much bigger than Bondi beach and always so few people on them, they could well be far enough from each other.

    1. Thanks Dee. A few years ago we had a "cow parade" here in Perth with dozens of cows painted by various artists. It was quite a fun event.
