Saddleback

I loved this mural on a back wall in Newmarket, Auckland. @julzmaioro offered to shoot over and close the door, but we decided that it looked good as it was and gave the mural scale. The saddleback is a native NZ bird.

Looks good nice to see so much colour in what would of been a dingy lane..

[Barb Newcomb]

Some artists are so clever. It would be very hard to get the scale just right. Great shot.

Hah, how neat is that!

[Yao RL]

What a striking mural, I think the open door makes it even more interesting, I saw this bird the other day at Zealandia, and I am not sure the name, Now I knew.

Dianne, I walked past that same mural on Thursday. Unfortunately I didn't have the camera with me. I have a feeling there was a fantail painted on the garage door on the right.

Lovely wall art

[Brooke]

This is beautiful! Think we need a trip to Tiri when I am back x

[Dione Giorgio]

Cool capture. I like it this way and probably better than with the door closed but you could have taken a shot with the door closed and showed us both.

Great Wall Art

Lovely piece of street beautifully captured Dianne, I may have been tempted to close that door, but as you say does add scale to the image:)

[Dianne]

@yorkshirekiwi Yes - it's a striking mural - I would have loved to see the fantail one on the roller door.

[Nick]

Fab mural. Fav.

[Babs]

Fabulous street art. You will have to go back again when the door is closed and take another shot.

That's terrific. You were right, the door does give a good sense of scale and street cred. Fav.

[Tony]

Wonderful decoration well spotted and captured.

[Ethel]

Bit on the late side for my comment, but really like this, and agree about leaving the door open.

[Milanie]

What a neat find - those colors make this so eye-catching.
