There's something about trains.. even goods trains as here in Fremantle. Glimpses through the carriages above show a section of the artwork that I showed here, when you click you will see the incroyable Arcs D’Ellipses, once an illusion now a nightmare! The yellow painted foil is proving a delicate and costly business to remove without damaging the exterior of the many heritage buildings along High Street. Ah the price of art.. this installation did bring many visitors into Freo and for this reason I think it might have been left in situ a little too long making it even harder to remove..
This shot just because I like it and it shows a glimpse down my favourite street in Freo Phillimore Street. So many fabulous heritage buildings are a visual delight. Happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe..
Uh oh... that sounds like a headache to get rid of that'll take a whole case of tylenol to fix.
ReplyDeleteIt will be costly and difficult to fix for sure Grace!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity as it was quite pretty, I had no idea it was meant to be a temporary work of art.
...the bigger picture is often hard to see.
ReplyDeleteI am your eye's biggest fan!
ReplyDeleteWow - I would be so upset if that was my building! Someone mad a big error!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see contaner trains when you want to see something else
ReplyDeleteToo bad the art has become an eye sore. It looked great as it was.
ReplyDeleteSomeone made a costly mistake. Maybe they should have left it alone.
ReplyDeleteI remember that art piece and how much I loved it in your photos. It's too bad that it has proven to be a problem to erase. I for one, am hoping the artists will come up with a safer way to create this kind of illusion in the future. It sure has an impact.
ReplyDeleteOh, boy. That's going to be expensive.
ReplyDeleteIt seemed like a good idea at the time. I like the arch photos.
ReplyDeleteOops. I see you like trains. I do too.
ReplyDeleteThat old bugaboo...unintended consequences. What a shame. It seemed so cool...
ReplyDeleteI sadly never got to see that great illusion, Grace.
ReplyDeleteMoon and Sixpence gone, this now, also. I´m a tad sad!
Still: Have a happy Wednesday - I´ll only walk so I´ll... you know :-)
P.S. I hope Raine Square and Jesters are still there???
DeleteThanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI remember your photos of the illusion bummer about the problems removing it.
ReplyDeleteI find this kind of art in Carcassonne few days ago... ew
ReplyDeleteArt touch really every aspect of life.
ReplyDeleteI remember that art piece. Would be a horror to remove it just for a paint.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing your post about it and it was amazing to see. I do love trains and am fortunate to live near some railroad tracks. I love hearing them pass by at night, especially when they blow their horns as they cross the road.
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame that it is not proving easy to remove …
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
It's all a visual delight! thank you, so much.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot .
ReplyDeleteOh no......shame that it's causing such a problem!
ReplyDeleteVery bright colours in each photo!
