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.
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.
Ashurst is a small town on the Western side of the Manawatu Gorge. The attached wall paintings are on the buildings used for the large sports fields and the viewing platform for the windfarms in the Ranges which the Gorge bisects or separates.
On the North side of the Manawatu Gorge is a town called Woodville. The public library may not be the most splendid of public buildings but I do like their wall decorations.
This building forms part of the complex near Hastings of the RNZSPCA (Royal New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). When I blogged recently about wall paintings SS asked in his comment if there was a tradition of such art in New Zealand. I didn't (and still don't) have a definitive answer to the question but I will keep on searching. There are plenty of them around and this will certainly not be the last this year. I can't recall how many I blogged about during my 2007/2008 stay here.
