Boy on a building

This is also in Hosier Lane but it's not graffiti, I think it's a beautiful piece of art. I like how it appears to be reflecting the buildings. I have seen a couple of 365ers post this same shot.

Our beautiful daughter has been gone for 16 years and would have turned 34 today. My sister and I gave birth just 40 minutes apart so my niece also turns 34 today, our girls had a special connection.
A big happy birthday to both of them. There is a 3 year gap between my son and daughter but they get on very well together. Beautiful capture of this piece of art. The reflections add some more flavour to the shot.

A lovely story Sheralee - and a beautiful note for your beautiful daughter. I'm sure she is still very strong in your memories and heart xx

Lovely art Sheralee and a day of reflection for you.
January 9th, 2015  
Oh Sheralee, many years have passed by but I'm sure your heart misses her daily. How interesting that your sister and you give birth so close. A cyber hug to you.

Isn't it fantastic, got to be a fav. He is a very talented artist. don't know if you know his history. His name is Matt Last and he goes by the name Adnate. Kane @karlow75 has posted pics by Adnate and so have I http://365project.org/onewing/topics/2014-01-31 The one I took was part of the Hit the Bricks Festival in Newcastle in 2013 and the painting attached won first place at the festival. This is a fantastic photo of his work.
A beautiful photo on a sad day. I lost my daughter too almost 2 years ago. I am sure both our daughters would love this art. Zoe was a big fan of street art and often wandered around Hozier Lane checking it out.

beautiful words Sheralee - I am sure your daughter is watching over you - I have posted this piece as well - as @onewing Babs said he is a very talented artist
@peterlgrave and it was placed there legally :)
January 9th, 2015  
@onewing Thanks Babs, I knew the artist was Adnate but that was all. I first saw this from Kane @karlow75 and wanted to find it when I was there. Someone else posted it too but I can't remember who.

Yes, my daughter Janis would have LOVED this, she was so artistic. She drew, took photos, made jewellery... thanks for your kind words.

@peterlgrave As Annie @annied said, definitely placed there legally. He is a Melbourne artist and he also takes part in the Hit the Bricks Festival in Newcastle for the last 2 years. http://www.newcastlestar.com.au/story/2670129/newcastle-hit-the-bricks-festival-photos/
All the artists are such talented people.
January 9th, 2015  
@annied Oh, thank you Annie, I knew someone else had posted it!

@onewing @bella_ss I figured it had to be legal since he would have needed a cherry picker or something similar to get up there.
January 9th, 2015  
@bella_ss They used a cherry picker in Newcastle for their artworks. I am amazed how the can do artworks like this so close up. It is marvellous to watch the paintings being created.
January 9th, 2015  
@onewing That always amazes me too... how they get a sense of scale, it looks so perfect.
January 9th, 2015  
Wow, that is incredible art! Love street art. We have bunches in my city.
January 9th, 2015  
painting in this scale is hard to imagine! wishing you peace on this and all days.
January 9th, 2015
