Monday Mural - Swans and Giraffes in Maylands

I love murals and street art. 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 will find murals everywhere.  The "Monday Mural"  goes live on Monday at 12,01AM, Perth,Western Australian time. Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters. Looking forward to your mural finds this week.

Thanks Sami

A few more murals from Maylands:

On the corner of Guildford Road and 8th Avenue is the Rifo's Cafe, where I found these Perth icons - the black swans (Cygnus atratus) which are the official bird emblem of our state of Western Australia. Painted by Ill Withers in November 2022.


                   

                        

              

The giraffes, painted by WA artist Anya Brock, can be found at 38 Eight Avenue.

  6. With so many amazing murals in this post, it is hard to tell if the bicycle in the second photo is a real one or it is a part of the mural.
    My pondering is insignificant, please ignore. The murals are amazing.
    Thank you so much for sharing these with all of us and hosting.
    Be well!

    1. The bicycle is certainly real :) although it could have very well been incorporated into the mural.
