This is an electricity Sub-Station in Gisborne. Surely, Marcel, despite your comments on previous postings of wall art, you must prefer this to some of the drab and unappealing buildings that are sub-stations in the UK.
Fine, but why can't buildings just be made more attractive than they are? I understand the argument about utility versus beauty but there has to be a compromise. Would it get planning permission in the Western Isles? The building undoubtedly would but the painting?
I still don't understand WHY it is done. Maybe I'm just a hardened Philistine.
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 )

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 wonder who finds the time to paint them?
ReplyDeleteReally though...much patience is required in painting them...and discipline. I haven't touched the boys bedroom for almost two weeks (the shame).
