We have a new mural going up. I told the artist I thought it was great and she smiled broadly. Afterwards, I realised I should have got her name but I'll go back when the cherrypicker has gone and find the signature...
Last night after the train decided mid trip to not stop at five of the listed stops due to congestion, I travelled around trying to make my way home. The only bonus, as I wasted my time, was this train that lit up with all the reflected lights around it, looking like it was painted neon.
Sometimes the smallest amusements make you smile.

Good mural. Is it a skeuomorph?
ReplyDeleteIt's a Trompe-l'œil

Very clever trompe l'oeil. Five train stops missed... hope no one was in a hurry! Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Lydia.
ReplyDeleteCool
ReplyDeleteI love the mural. The train trip sounds annoying, though. :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting quote from Banksy. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteVery good
ReplyDelete...the red grabs your attention!
ReplyDeleteI don't believe we've met before today, but having read your post, I know we would be good friends if given the opportunity. I love street art. I am always looking for it and sadly I see it most often as I am driving by and can't stop. Once I know where it is though I try to make it back to take it all in. And shame of the train ... phooey on congestion ... you shouldn't be forced to make your own way home after dark and after having paid your fare. I would think to myself I am going to complain, but then I don't because I either forget or I decided it wouldn't make a difference. So, my dear ... you know where the Wild Things Were. Do you know where they are?

I find street art interesting. However, back at my busiest time of taking senior portraits, I had a senior tell me there are certain meanings for certain designs. After that, I was careful of what the background art looked like.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful mural. Great photo of the train all lit up in the tunnel. Thank you for your weekend coffee share.
ReplyDeleteI do love to see street art when I'm out and about. That mural is really great
ReplyDeleteStreet art is a favourite of mine. I love wandering around the city and finding art in unexpected places.
ReplyDeleteI love street art, but what annoys me is the mindless graffitti. WE have some amazing murals here in Portugal. You remind to share.
ReplyDeleteStreet art is cool, but I dislike graffiti and tagging... Thanks for taking part in the "My Sunday Best" meme, Lydia.
