Eyes

In a nearby suburb in Greymouth I've been watching the reconstruction of this house and last week I saw that someone had painted a very spacey mural on the outside.



 Personally I really like it - it's kind of weird. What do you think?

I do like it but wonder what it's all about . A crying eye? Any mural that brightens the neighbourhood is great. Is that a private house?

Yes. The crying eye puzzled me too.

The eye takes in the world around on the moment and is not to happy about it.

I like it, I don't understand but I still like it.

It certainly "stands out" - but perhaps they're not done with the renovation yet?

I wouldn't do it myself but I love it. One of my very 'off the wall' cousins lives in Invercargill and in his worst non-conformist years painted the weather boards of his house in rainbow stripes. (And he kept kuni kuni pigs in his backyard - the neighbours must have despaired).

How odd. I think it would grow on you. It's weirdly cheery - I guess the colours. THere's a building near us painted in rainbow flag - I actually don't know if it is the rainbow flag but in the marriage equality pllebiscite they wrote a big YES on the front of the building so now I think it's the rainbow flag....Anyway, it's sort of my favourite house to walk past now because it's so cheery in a grey street! #MuralMondays

It’s a pleasing composition, so why should it have to mean something?

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 .

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 ...
