While driving through the outskirts of Taupo 3 days ago I spotted this kiwiana mural on the side of the Taupo Turtle Pools building in Turangi. Just a bit of background the pools aren't for Turtles they are for toddlers, babies and little children to learn to swim but back to the mural which says "Te Maataapuna" which means "the source" and features a Tui along with a carving that looks like a Taniwha. I can't find who the artist is but I suspect it's part of the Taupo Graffiato Street Festival.

Very well done.
...that looks like one scary critter.
Beautiful mural.
Amy, you found a fine looking mural with its traditional New Zealand images. Enjoy your new week.
Another nice bright mural. I always enjoy the Maori art
It's a beauty!
I love your mural!!
A nice traditional mural. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Amy :)
That is a very colorful and different mural. That place is good to teach babies and toddlers to swim. It comes easily at that age because they don't know they should be afraid of the water.
