Surfing


I spotted this very purple mural inside the concrete made public toilets in Westport last time we were there. I don't know who the artist is but it shows a girl on a surfboard, weirdly enough I haven't seen anyone surfing at the beaches around here, maybe I'm just not there at the right time.

Linking up with Mural Monday.

Great picture. I've never heard that West Coast beaches were great surfing but that might just be because I never asked a Coaster.

I don't see murals inside public toilets these days. Remember when they had them at Mangawhai? That one is refreshing.

The purple background is quite unusual. It's a lovely mural. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals.

She's quite the contortionist. Lovely mural, Amy.

This mural is filled with action and motion. You found a good one by A. Frank.

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 .

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 ...
