I love street art. My header for this post is a mural in my own town of Katikati. It is the Athenree Homestead by Val Tubman of Waihi. Athenree is on the way north just out of town.
But recently, I finally took some photos of a wall in Waihi that always draws my eyes when I pass it.
If you missed it here is another piece of the wall that I used for Small Stone #19.

Neat! I recognize Sonic, the Hedgehog on part of it. When I was in Switzerland, I was amazed and astounded by the incredible street art over there. It is EVERYWHERE over there, and it’s so much more than the simple graffiti that we have a lot of here in the States. Very cool.
