Flowers


When we stopped at Christchurch Airport back in January I noticed this tropical looking mural but since then I've been struggling to find out anything about it. All I can find is that it may have been part of the "street art/murals and installations" there but no idea who painted it.

News from us: we have finally found a rental property and are hoping to move in tomorrow. It'll be nice living in an insulated warm sunny house closer to town. Until now I have been driving half an hour to and from work on very dark country roads.

Airports often have beautiful murals, and I'm always frustrated when I have to rush past them, only to wait for hours in a much less well-decorated gate area. But stopping risks missing the flight: no can do. I wonder why they never seem to have murals at the gate.

Beautiful mural.
And yay for the new apartment. 1 1/2 hours one way is a pain, even at sunny times...

Beautiful mural Amy, I'm looking forward to photographing a mural at the arrivals area of Perth Airport when I return home from our overseas trip in August.
Good luck with your new rental, hope you'll be happy there. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals.

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 .
