  6. Hi Sandy,

    The interesting thing is that it's part of a wide (probably four metres) horizontal image on a wall that faces the street.

    But to me, the most striking image was this segment, which I had to shoot vertically instead.

    Cheers

  7. Thank you, Sandee,

    It was an interesting one to shoot in that light - I should have taken one from the other side as well.

    On the to-do list for my next trip!

    Cheers

  10. A rainbow painted like a mosaic. Hmmm... It's like a rainbow within a rainbow. Neat idea, and it turned out well. Was the rest of the mural as beautiful?

  15. I knew sandy would like it. It is possibly the strangest rainbow I have ever seen and that makes it a excellent photographic subject.

    Have a good one.

  19. Cool. Purdy. I always love to see urban areas with cool murals, but I also love too see trains go by with cooll graffiti on the sides. Some of those folks are real artists.
