Modern collective streetwear


We don't have many murals here but I did find this one on the side of the one of the business buildings which is a mixture of things but in general seems to be advertising Modern Collective Streetwear - a clothing shop which has stores in Whangarei, Paihia and Kerikeri.

Last week we moved down to Alert Level 3 but it seems we still have plenty of idiots about. In last night's news there was a story about people flocking to a South Island beach and most of them not observing the 2 metre rule. So we're still suppose to be in lockdown unless you have essential travel and people just dont' seem to care - what's up with that?

Oh Amy, this is a really good one. I loved the part that read "Your ad here." Very clever, quite colorful, and a great find.

I hadn't heard of it. Yes, there are some fools around. I was talking to a friend yesterday and she said her daughter, here in Tikipunga, had to call the police as she had drunks in the garden.

Fun mural, "your ad here" ;-)
Yes, same here, some people don´t either get it or want to provoke. Well, they are dumb.

It reminds me of a Shepard Fairey mural, his style and colours.
Thanks for contributing Amy, it's very nice.
We are doing quite well in Western Australia too, let's hope people keep their thinking heads on and it stays this way until we can return to normal in a couple of weeks.

Nice fun mural. I think that all the idiots all over the world should be placed somewhere together away from the rest of the population.

Our idiots are more idiotic than yours any day. We have protestors taking firearms inside some of our State Capitol Buildings. Why they are not arrested and carted off, I don't know.

Super murals Amy, well spotted. There are always going to be a small group of people that think the law doesn't apply to them. I think though that NZ and Oz are doing pretty well, fingers crossed it stays that way ✨

Some businesses are allowed to open up here this week. I'm not sure how that will work out. It will be interesting and scary to see.

We are starting to ease up restrictions here, slowly but surely. However, still working from home. Grateful I still have work.

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
