Signs - Strawberry picking

Strawberry season is in full swing, and it reminded me when I went strawberry picking with some friends, exactly two years ago in a berry farm just north of the city of Perth. 

It was a very hot but fun day, and I brought home 2 boxes of strawberries that cost us $5 a box, plus we could eat whatever we wanted.

Monday Murals - Monkey Bar

Two murals from Mandurah, painted by local artist Steve Briggs, painted at the Monkey Bar, located in Pinjarra Road.

He painted the murals for free as a way to give back to his community.

Apparently the technique used for the eyes of the monkey is the same used with the "Mona Lisa", where the eyes follow you no matter where you stand in the room.

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 find murals everywhere.  
Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters.  Looking forward to your mural finds posted this week.   Monday mural meme is posted at 12,01am Monday, Western Australian time. Thanks, Sami.

Signs - Life is short

"Life is short, break the rules.
Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, laugh uncontrollably
and never regret anything that made you smile".

I've seen these sayings forever, but they are still good advice.

Monday Mural - Lane murals

In the same lane where I spotted last week's mural at the back of the Alex Hotel and the State Library of Western Australia, which is next to the new Perth Museum, were a few other murals.

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 find murals everywhere. Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters.        

Looking forward to your mural finds posted this week. Monday mural meme is posted at 12,01am Monday, Western Australian time.  Thanks, Sami.

This first mural was painted by Perth artist Kyle-Hughes Odgers. Don't know when it was painted, but maybe because it's in an out of the way lane backing the hotel and various bars and restaurants, sadly the mural has a lot of graffiti on it.





The little lane where the murals were seen. To the left was the bee and birds mural


The rock and roll mural at the back advertises Joe's Juice Joint, which in 2019 was recognized as the world's best dive bar (not sure what that is?) and Alabama Song, another bar upstairs, both owned by the same person.


And this geometric mural, that I had already posted in 2015, is just nearby at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts in James street, in the Cultural Centre, was painted by Italian artist Teo Pirisi  aka "Moneyless" for Form's 2015.

Signs - Budapest

Some signs from our visit to Budapest, Hungary in April 2018.

Considering I wasn't yet participating int he Signs meme, I'm amazed at the quantity of photos with signs that I took in Budapest. And...looking through this album I found murals I hadn't yet posted, so the will be shown in the near future.

For other signs from across the world please visit Tom's blog.

                              "Hello Hungary" sign at the airport. I saw 2 more in the city.
