A new mural has been painted alongside the canal on the way into Shipley. It's quackers! (I couldn't get a better angle on it or I'd have fallen in the canal.) I'm not sure whether it's commissioned or simply graffiti but it raised a smile from me.
Meanwhile, the long-standing artwork under the roadbridge is deteriorating rapidly, now covered in mould. It's a bit whacky too... I've never been sure what the story is. It's some kind of fantasy banquet.
Not a mural but another source of amusement for me were these two swans, upended so dramatically that you'd have thought they might do a complete somersault. I don't know what was so tasty down there but something held their attention for a long time.
The swans in perfect sync - a great photo!
ReplyDeleteI like the murals, but am wondering about the alpaca; doesn't the animal have a set of relatively short, pointed ears just visible underneath its octopus hat? Could it be a white cat?
The fantasy banquet could be a modern nod to The Last Supper. Bread and wine on the table, but I can't tell whether the people at the table are the right number.
A cheery, cheeky, new mural…and we all need cheering up at the moment! Love the swans!
