Today I rode along the Upfield bike and the road by Union Street was blocked so I did a detour along a bluestone lane to Manallack Street. I pass that way often without any time to stop and smell the roses. Today I was on holidays, my lunch date was cancelled and I had time to wander and wonder. So I came across some wonderful sepia street art reflecting the history of Brunswick. Then I wandered further and found some cheerful colourful street art including some on Saxon Street that was so infectious it had spread to the road. I wish I knew more about the history but all I can do is stand back, admire and immerse!
I asked someone about the painting on the road and they told me it was done by the folks at Theodores so I am thinking perhaps I need to check out the cafe and bar!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Johanna.
ReplyDeleteI love it when you show us Melbourne Street Art. I absolutely love the proliferation of it and how it tells a story.
ReplyDeleteWow, that street art is something else. It's very sedate where I'm living now and we don't even have graffiti, never mind anything as magnificent as what you've shown here.
