When you need to revitalise your town’s economy one way to do it is with outdoor murals. Not graffiti but in the case of Chemainus, a town on the island of Vancouver in Canada, a wonderful series of wall murals displaying their cultural diversity. We stopped on our way through to take some photographs. It was a dull day, just about to rain and we didn’t have much time so snapshots rather than fantastic images. Enjoy and go and visit if you are in Canada.
On a warm summer’s day there’s nothing I like better than to watch cotton wool billows of cumulus drift across the blue. so it was very tempting to put up a selection of clouds. However, here instead are things we look up to, buildings, trees and anything reaching for the sky. It’s surprising what you can see if you look up. There are also some images of things that reach for the sky, like the fountain and the kite. I was not responsible for the skiers, just scanned it from an old postcard.
Not sure what is going to happen here – there are so many angles to colour – should it be just one colour or many colours? Decided on colours of the rainbow but a bit short of indigo.
