Every now and again when we are driving if I see something interesting I ask the other half to pull over so I can take photos then research it when we get home.
This one was very bright and colourful. According to the sign that was on the fence a small group of local owners consulted other people in the community and asked artist Chris Wilkie to paint a mural on the outside.
This is his version of the history and landscapes of the Purerua Peninsula through the achievement of the winning Ngati Rehia Waka Ama team in the 2013 national regatta.

Beautifully done!
The mural really looks fabulous on the old buidling. Nice scene in the first photo too.
Interesting history and great mural.
Two things I love are featured in this post.
Worth A Thousand Words
Very cool murals.
This mural is so attractive. Also located in a unexpected locale.
The artist did a super job Amy, eye-catching for sure ✨
P.s. I do the same thing with my hubby, he's quite used to me shouting 'stop' 😀
It certainly is a beautiful mural! And, that flame tree is kind of special too.
