Municipal Library

Here is the last of the electricity junction box photos for now. Next time I am in Newcastle I will try and find some more.

As you can see this one is damaged slightly but if you look carefully you will see a little mouse lying on the steps.

This is so cute too, the little mouse could not make it all the way. Great find and shot, loved the little series.

[haskar]

Great find. I like your series. Lovelyshot.

[Jacqueline]

This is another great find!

[julia]

Cleverly done ..

@ludwigsdiana You probably can't see it clearly but he has a book in his hand, so maybe he fell asleep reading his book.

[Maggiemae]

Wow -this should be seen by so many councillors in so many districts!

[Annie D]

another cool one Babs

[Dianne]

These painted junction boxes are great. Kids must love looking at them as they wander along.

[Beryl Lloyd]

So cute - love the little mouse -just lying there !

[Peter]

Its such a brilliant idea to transform the mundane very day object into an interesting talking point, great street art image Babs:)

[Valerie Chesney]

Wonderful...whoever designed these has a wonderful sense of humour.

[Hazel]

I couldn’t help hoping that the mouse was not electrocuted....

[Casablanca]

That is excellent! That would be me, sitting on the steps engrossed in a sandwich and a book!

[Judith Johnson]

Someone has been very creative with their artistic 'graffiti'!

[Catherine P]

Gorgeous!

[Merrelyn]

What a shame that it has been damaged and graffitied. I hope that someone will keep them maintained :)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

It is so neat looking. Great shot.

[carol white]

[Fisher Family]

This has been a great fun series.

@haskar @jacqbb @julzmaioro @777margo @maggiemae @annied @dide @beryl @pcoulson @happysnaps @casablanca @busylady @cmp @merrelyn @mittens @carolmw @peadar @fishers @yaorenliu @seattlite @pyrrhula @carole_sandford Thanks. Next time I have a free day I will have to wander around Newcastle and see how many more painted junction boxes I can find.

@quietpurplehaze I think the little mouse is perfectly safe, he is just reading his book.

[Ko*]

Love these junction boxes... so much better than a simple grey one :)

[Babs]

@happypat In the olden days electricity wires were overhead but now they are all underground and each box is where the cables run from the underground feed and is the junction box that supplies about half a dozen properties. If they have to cut the electricity to any particular property at any time it is easier to cut it at the junction box rather than dig a great hole in the ground to find the cable that feeds each house.

[sarah]

Great find enjoying this series of yours

[Marnie]

These little boxes are so interesting to see Babs.

[Sue Cooper]

I just love this idea.

[Angela]

Such fun!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I wonder if you put them all together the paintings would tell a story- they sure are whimsical.

[Kathy A]

These really are wonderful, they would look great in a collage
