Coastal Scenes Provide Inspiration
Street art or murals painted used to decorate our small little town were vandalized with graffiti, reason unknown!
"Aspire To Inspire Before We Expire"
Cleaning started in 2017 with volunteers from a variety of groups or local companies supplying materials, bridges and subways were high pressure washed, repaired then given a touch of paint with our traditional Sapphire Blue background. Paintings added over blue background with amazing detail depicting local scenery done by artists in the village.
Warner Beach Sapphire Coast Street Photography a post I wrote at the time presenting the fresh look, it was charming seeing our young artists enjoy the oppotunity of open canvas going into great detail.
CCC's Street Art Contest #35 may be running, it was seeing equisite art in one of these contests during the last week with @digi-me reminded me to go down!
Off we went down to the bridge not far as the crow flies. We call this the Hoot Bridge, Story goes that when early residents went under the bridge one could not see what lay on the other side, cars must have been relatively new to the area, ruling painted on the side when we arrived instruction said HOOT, so hoot you must, to this day.
Quirky little pieces of history keep things interesting, luck as it has it this bridge has been recently completed with a new theme, once again very local which makes it pleasing to the eye, visitors park on the main road and walk down to take in the detail.
Now I will need to visit the subway, and bridge over railway lines to see if they too have been repainted.
Villagers made concerted decision to tidy up, hopefully pride remains without being destroyed by misfits with nothing better to do than be destructive.
Street art or murals, whichever way you prefer to describe them have made drab old bridges come to life. These are all new photographs, link to old above shows how much additional work this young proud generation are defiantly protecting their coastal town with pride, it's a lifestyle choice!
All photography is my own using Canon Powershot. Qny queries or requests please drop a comment below or make contact with me, have a wonderful day! Photography without tripod, go with the flow wherever life takes you.
