Thanks, Sami.
Saturday we had lunch with some friends north of the river (the city of Perth is divided by the Swan River and you either live in the suburbs south or north of the river). The day before, I had seen some pictures on Instagram of a mural that had just been completed in the suburb of Malaga, which I knew was close to our lunch location, so on our return home we drove past to take photos.
This amazing mural has been painted by the very talented Australian artist Brenton See, for Natural Area, an environmental consultancy company in the industrial area of Malaga (57 Boulder Road).
It features a Western Quoll and a Western Spinebill, which were endemic to the area before the concrete jungle moved in. Behind the Quoll is a Banksia Grandis.
What a pity I couldn't get close, but it was behind gates, and I only had my little Cannon Ixus with me.

I thought you did an excellent job considering you were shooting behind those gates. Your photos were still clear and beautiful. That little Western Quoll captured my heart. Stunning!
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth, the quoll is so cute :)
DeleteThat's a great mural with a lot of nature represented. I like the natural colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sharon :)
Delete...your flora sure is different than ours! This mural is wonderful. I often have to shoot through fences. Thanks Sami for hosting, enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tom. Not easy when you can't get close to what you want to photograph. Have a lovely week too.
DeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteThe world should have more artists like Benton See!
What a joy to view that.
Hugs,
Mariette
We sure need more artists like Brenton, he's fabulous! Have a lovely week Mariette.

DeleteI especially love the detail on the tail!
ReplyDeleteSuch great details, thanks Jackie :)
DeleteCute little guy, we have the Banksia trees here, they do really well in coastal areas.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy, I think a lot of our flora would be similar in New Zealand.
DeleteGreat job capturing it behind gates. Love the details.
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa :)
DeleteThat's a gorgeous mural! Thank you for doing close-up photos to see the details.
ReplyDeleteThanks :) Wish I could have got closer.
DeleteBrilliant work. The quoll and bird are superb.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautifully painted, thanks Andrew :)
DeleteA atenção ao pormenor é deliciosa.
ReplyDeleteBoa semana
Imenso pormenor, esta maravilhoso. Obrigada e boa semana Pedro
DeleteWow, this is a wonderfully made mural, very professional and... so cute and yes, I can spot the bee.
ReplyDeleteNice, too, you had lunch with friends. I only got WhatsApp pics from Bro´s BBQ... But that´s better than nothing, right.
Bet you´ll like "mine" today :-) Mural, not BBQ ;-)
Thanks Iris, it's certainly beautiful and cute creatures. We have to consider ourselves lucky that we can lead normal lives, but while the whole of Europe goes on holiday we can't leave yet.
DeleteVery cool and detailed
ReplyDeleteThanks Cloudia :)
DeleteThese are great, and not ONES we found when we were in Málaga. Then again, we weren't there long, and didn't know it was worth our while to visit an industrial suburb! i'm in Spain for my post too, but in Santander: https://margaret21.com/2021/08/16/a-bonus-from-santander/
ReplyDeleteOh not Málaga in Spain Margaret :), Malaga is a Perth suburb, which was either named after the Spanish city or after the aboriginal word malaga which means ironstone.
DeleteHope you're enjoying your holidays in Spain.
Sorry I can't leave you a comment, Margaret21, but you don't allow google (Blogger) individuals to leave comments. I'm not on FB, Twitter, or WPress, so can't let you know how cute your adorable rabbit with the camera is.
DeleteA great mural and lovely to see so much detail. I enjoyed the artist’s use of shadows.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie, a great artist!
DeleteVery realistic and precisely done mural. Looks very good indeed.

DeleteA quoll is high on my list of animals to see if ever I have the chance to visit Australia again. Great mural of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks David. I hope you do get to see a quoll. I've seen one at Caversham Wildlife park here in Perth.
DeleteThat is a talented artist!
