Cafe


This is something very weird I spotted over Summer earlier this year. the DP1 Cafe in Greymouth has this mural on the front window which looks like a person riding on the back of a rather large snail. Strange but very cool...

Linking up with Weekend Reflections, Mural Monday and the Weekend Roundup.

Riding the snail astraddle, like riding a pony. Neat art!!
I wonder if there are more outside tables than just that one.
Thank you for visiting my Blue Monday's little car. I think it came from our daughter's, now 49, McDonald's Happy Meal. Otherwise it was part of a village set, folding up in its own box.

I wonder how many people actually notice what his happening in the mural. I bet you are one of the few. I just gave it a cursory glance when I opened up your site. And then what! You forced me to look and oh yes.

Great find

A bit strange but charming and I'd feel I just had to see inside. Love the colours.

Reminds me of Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco.

Just love that window - the whole image in fact. We would try a coffee there.

Usually it’s an elf that rides on a snail. I know I have seen one, at least in a picture book.

Quirky and very unique, Amy. I had to enlarge it to see what it really looked like. Nice find.

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 .
