The more I see wall paintings all over the place in New Zealand the more I want to photograph them for posterity. I think they are wonderful (and hope they don't put Marcel off enjoying the Blog). See Ashurst Wall Paintings.
Like Heather, I love the paintings and it is noticeable that the first ones here are, as she points out, shaded to make them three dimensional. I wonder why that isn't done more often.
We may be apart but when I look at the sky and remember that we are standing on the same earth, looking at the same moon, somehow you don't seem so far away after all.
Life
Life isn't about dawdling to the grave, arriving safely in an attractive, wrinkle-free body but rather an adventure that ends skidding in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, totally worn out, screaming "Yee-ha. What a ride!!"
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain. (With thanks to shabby girl of A Travelling Fish )
Feeling young is fabulous but growing old is a blessing!!! (A comment on this blog by Jaz of Treacy Travels.)

Like a Godwit I migrate. I live in New Zealand during the Southern Hemisphere's Summer and I live in Scotland's Outer Hebrides in the Northern Hemisphere's Summer (See Eagleton Notes). In both places I also live in Blogland which, for me, is as real a life as any other.

I love the wall paintings that you share!! These are three dimensional...those first shots look like sculptures, almost.
ReplyDeleteI have the Artistic eye, not the schooling for it but definately the appreciation and the "trial & error" of it.
Please don't stop sharing your findings with us, GB...I do SO appreciate them :o).
♥ to you today! Heather
