Mural Pop Up Devonport

Sylvia @sprphotos challenged me to ‘take a photo of a mural/wall art that inspires you and why’. I like the idea of this and it is beautiful but it is not used at all. Shane Walker painted this mural in the center of town a couple of years ago. With so much construction going in Downtown Tauranga this mural is of an imaginary lake and nature walk creating a calming affect for people to come and unwind.

@sprphotos Sylvia the mural detail on the ferns as the sky line continues across the scene. The old lady walking by is sweet too.

@777margo it's a shame this beautiful art is not appreciated more.

@fr1da Looking how the artists use shadows to bring depth into these large murals

@sandradavies When I was in NZ last year I took pics of all the wall art I saw in wellington Napier. Whangerei(my daughter actually had a part in the art there) and up in the Northland towns. Loved them, these ones are very beautiful

@777margo Wonderful, I'd love to see some of her work. I'm in Wellington in a couple of weeks and am often in the north. How can I check her work?

This mural is beautiful indeed and would certainly make people slow down and relax a bit from the stress of construction!
