There was actually a mural walk with an ambiguous map. Like in Calgary, we'd get to the indicated place, and have to look around. You'd think something so big would be easy to find, but no. Sometimes they're down the alley or around the corner.
There was more to this one, but I couldn't get it.
I really liked this one.
This was a difficult one, trying to deal with the various angles, and extremely tricky footing. Yes, it was mostly a parking lot, but with ramps, and curbs, and railings, and other buildings.
Wellington
We passed this many times on the way up and down the hill and I smiled every time. It's a (surprise) fish and chip place that got recommended in our house book, but we never had the yearning for fish and chip while there.

I've blogged these before, but let's put them with their kin. I don't think you'll mind seeing them again. They are the ones I liked best of all.
How about you, which did you like?

Well I'm not a fan of omnibus bills - they hide multiple ills. I hope this comment is more appealing than those. Cheers, Sean

• As a photo I really like the fish in the parking lot. The bushes can nearly be read as seaweed and there is a very pleasing diagonal from building to fish mouth or eye to car.
• As murals, I am drawn to Albert and the bird. They both invite longer looks.

• I like the first one for its painterly qualities.
• Speaking of painterly, I’m not as sold on the rock Pollocks.
• The one I keep returning too is “cooling chocolate”. I think it is the one that is the most successful and achieving an alternate landscape. Lizard skin and rock shards also comes close, especially the bottom left 80%.
• The dates remind of Morocco and Mary Pratt (painter)
• Nicely done.

• Petal edges are quite wonderful, and I find the images with minimal background the more successful ones.
• PS I did notice that your choice of rock and wood compliment the theme.
• As a set I like that the these one as that line marks the boundary ey

• Ah wet flowers – so sensual – nicely done!

• The secret tour looks like it was a great kaleidoscope of opportunities
• I like the two rock views and it leads me to thoughts of a longer study.

• Excellent petal
• Speaking of petals, I like the first of the 3 rocks for the same reason I like petals – it’s for the edge.

• The first photo is a really good beginning. The black and white helps to accentuate how our landscape is stacked and that is mirrored in the geology of the mountains.
• I’m sure you saw a polar bear. I see a great sky fish changing direction.
