I usually run with a theme. A couple of weeks ago someone asked whether my city has a lot of public art or whether I sought it out. The answer is both. While I much prefer more natural surroundings I am grateful that my city has a lot of public art. I don't like all of it, I don't understand all of it, but I am grateful that it is there. I think it reduces the impersonal air that so many cities have, and adds colour and life.
As I so often say, come walk with me. Other than the early photos (which were taken on my way in) all of these were taken within a couple of blocks close to my volunteer work. I didn't photograph all the art in those few blocks either.
This is two sides of Longitude by Matthew Harding which recognises the physical and emotional separation experienced by service personnel and their families.
The next one Ebb and Flow is also by Matthew Harding and is very different.
This is a salute and recognition of our First Peoples.
The dingoes (and some more) have been in this spot for as long as I can remember. Sadly the area is being renovated and I cannot at the moment find where the artist's details are recorded.
I hope you find colour, beauty and life in your week too.
