Paihia Rotary Mural




 While looking for murals last time we were in Paihia I saw this one on a bench chair outside the Paihia War Memorial Hall. Painted as part of the Focus Paihia Project this one was chosen for their 50th birthday celebrations in February 2013.  A competition was held, members had 3 weeks to design and construct a seat that would be quirky, colorful and and eye catching while promoting both Rotary and the Bay of Islands Rotary Club branch. This one won a $100 prize which was used by the club for further community projects.

Linking up with Mural Monday.

Nice street art -- the cut-out shape of the bench is imaginative. I like the wave design as well.

...nice colour palette too. I always love the way seo gets stylized and marvel at how we can always know it represents sea. We love the sea. xxx F & Mr T

Beautiful, nearly too beautiful to really take a seat!
Reckon people rather take pics instead?

Oh Amy, this is a very unusual and lovely mural on that bench. I can see why it was a prize winner. It's nicely colored, too.
