At least not often through the eyes of one of my favourite WA artists
Anya Brock.. remember
the budgies. We've been spending a lot of time in the city lately so decided for a change to head down to
Fremantle only a 30 minute drive down the coast road from Perth. I knew this mural (worth enlarging) was on
South Terrace, a long stretch of road, so we parked pretty much half way down and turned right, up towards the
Cappuccino Strip (virtual tour)..WRONG! turns out we should have turned left.. isn't it always the way.. still, after eating a croissant for breakfast I needed the exercise :)
The young couple above tried to rush past but were happy to pose when I asked them to stop.. love the
Pink Floyd 'Another Hole in the Wall' dress :) So many quirky cafes in Fremantle,
Ootong and Lincoln one of the most popular if the reviews are anything to go by, I
can vouch for the
café au lait! Hope you had or are having a good weekend, take care and stay safe.. p.s. it was cloudy and 28C here yesterday, bliss.. but back up into the high 30's again this week!
First colorful Zebras I've seen. Love the couple. Pink Floyd? I did not know you were old enough to remember.
ReplyDeleteBetween bridges and murals you are tempting me to make some road trips with a camera.
How fun! I love all those colors and the young couple posing adds the perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteThat is really good, well thought out!
ReplyDeleteOh, I do agree with Lois and such a cute young couple!! The perfect touch indeed! Thanks for a fun start for my day!! Have a wonderful new week! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful zebras!
ReplyDeleteOh ... I've always thought black and white zebras are boring :)
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Fun!
ReplyDeleteNice of them to pose for your camera, sure is a big and colorful mural.
ReplyDeleteAnya Brook's murals are terrific, and the zebras are one of her best. Great photos. Thanks for letting all your viewers know about your find.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun and eye-catching murals!! Love the Pink Floyd dress too--great find!
ReplyDeletec est tres beau bravo a l artiste ;o)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours in this mural!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant in colour!
ReplyDeleteAmazing graphics !
ReplyDeleteI love it, Grace. So glad that the couple stopped and posed for you since they really give us an idea of scale.
ReplyDeleteLove the whimsy, Grace! I doubt I will ever see zebras in black and white light again. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat mural and they were the perfect couple to pose for you in front of it!
ReplyDeleteOH what beautiful stunning work! It's years since I was on the cappuccino strip and miss it! Joy x
ReplyDeleteThis is FABULOUS, Grace. See how much better the one with people is? And how they didn't bite you when you asked them to pose? How easy is that?
ReplyDeletePink Floyd on her tee seems somehow quite appropriate. It is a great piece of art. Do you give a card with your blog address on it so victims can see how their photo turned out?
ReplyDeleteFabulous graphic, I esp love your portrait of the young Perth-ites
ReplyDeleteALOHA from Honolulu
Comfort Spiral
=^..^= <3
Now that's fun!
ReplyDeleteI'd try something there just so I can sit by those giant stripes! Love them, and love the couples portrait:)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got the couple. Otherwise we could not appreciate how large the mural is. Were these Timothy Leary's pet zebras?
ReplyDeleteHow nice that the young couple stopped and were happy to be in your photograph Grace. I agree with Bob; really gives the mural a sense of perspective. Fabulous image and colours.
ReplyDeletethe contrast of the image are brilliant best photographers
ReplyDeleteYay for asking that couple, wish I was that "brave", Grace!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics!
From 3C, brrr.... have a nice Monday!
Nice twins and nice couples:)
ReplyDeleteNice you stopped the couple to pose, a different look at a zebra indeed.
ReplyDeleteLove the colourful zebras
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful and striking mural.
ReplyDeleteLove those colourful giraffes!
ReplyDeleteWell, this would get me to stop, for sure.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most striking murals I've ever seen- fabulous, Grace.
ReplyDeleteFun and vibrant!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful composition. The colors are not the least bit jarring. In fact they seem completely natural just not naturalistic. Would love to see this done as a print for the wall. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteThe best zebra ever!
ReplyDeleteI love it all. The mural is great, the couple was so nice, the photos are really nice. I also love Pink Floyd...
ReplyDeleteFun!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful blog. Specially i like those picture so much. I found many information about Large Format Printing perth which was so much important for me. So thank you so much for this amazing thing.
