Two Pillar People

I am posting a bit early today because I have had a busy day so far. Keep fit class this morning, then grocery shopping, dropped in at a friend's house on my way home for lunch and now I am just off to get my hair cut.

For the next few days I am posting the latest street art in Newcastle. Several of the telephone distribution boxes have been painted by local artist Rebecca Murray and are known locally as Pillar People.

So far you have seen four pillar people, three pillar people and today we are down to two pillar people.

Both these pillar people are outside the new law court in Newcastle. The left one is Joy Cummings, our former mayor of Newcastle and our first lady mayor. Next to her is the judge, he is rather sombre and looks as though he has just nodded off.

These pillars are so amazing, such a wonderful sight. It sure gives one something to smile about. The Judge is priceless :-)

@joysabin @ludwigsdiana @annied @mave @happysnaps @777margo @carole_sandford @gilbertwood @sangwann @louannwarren @gosia @pcoulson @taffy @merrelyn @bkbinthecity @quietpurplehaze @craftymeg @fishers @beryl @happypat @novab @pyrrhula Thanks, Newcastle is rather famous for its interesting street art of all types and these pillars looks so bright and cheerful. The same artist has also painted electricity junction boxes, traffic light boxes and NBN distribution boxes etc in the middle of town too. I have posted photos of the painted electricity junction boxes earlier this year. It is always fun to find new artworks when I visit the city.

I agree the judge is priceless. I hope the current judge doesn't look like this.

@dide I do struggle to keep up with myself sometimes Dianne. I discovered a while ago that it is hard work being retired.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This artist is very clever and I really like her style! You could do a whole poster of these characters. Nice shot.

[Tunia McClure]

Very creative but I'm not sure what a telephone distribution box is.

[Rob Z]

These are all so well done - a real credit to the council! Fun too!

[Lee-Ann]

Nice shot.

[haskar]
