  1. Electric utility boxes are the same here in the US as the ones on your blog post, which is neat! And they are muralized in both continents.

  2. ...Sami, you found a wonderful collection of utility boxes. They have become urban canvases. Thanks for hosting, I wish you a wonderful week.

  3. They are very colourful and much better than grey boxes.

  4. Dear Sami, I was so happy to see your pictures from Hobart—both the murals on the walls from the previous post and now these imaginatively painted electrical boxes. Firstly, it's a reminder of our dream trip to Tasmania, and secondly, the situation with colorful electrical boxes in Austria is still quite sad – they're simply vandalized (and usually ugly) or just grey instead of being beautified by artists... So I'm really happy about the colorful examples you're showing.
    All the best,
    Traude

    I think the first symbolize when your kids are all grown up and move out?
    The poor pot! Very well done! My Brother will feel that way soon, too! Big Niece´ll turn 16 this year!

    1. Don't know Iris, maybe :) Great that Ingo accompanied you to Perth and you found more murals. You'll have murals for the rest of the year now :)

  9. It seems that that there are more street-artist in the places you go. I rarely find such wonderful painted or sprayed works. Have a good time and all the best

    1. Thanks Violetta. A lot of artists here, but the city councils also pay overseas artists to come and paint here.
