Saturday Snapshot 9th February

Saturday Snapshot is a meme hosted by Alyce at At Home With Books.

The rules are simple:

To participate in the Saturday Snapshot meme post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken and leave a direct link to your post in the Mister Linky. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don’t post random photos that you find online.

This week I'm highlighting local street art.
I live in a leafy, peninsula suburb.
Almost every street has a good view of the harbour or a bridge or the city skyline.
Street art was never very big here as a result - who needs art when Mother Nature puts on such a good show?

But in the past 5 years or so, interesting things have been done to mundane objects like power boxes and fences.

 

 

 

 

 Poetry greets people as they arrive in our suburb.

 

 

 

Our parks and streets have been brightened up by local artists.

 

 

 

 

 

And the guerrilla gardeners beautified the ugly unused space outside the Post Office with plants and recycled sculptures.



 

 It certainly makes walking to work a more pleasant experience.
