I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

I didn't do this Photo Hunt...You found a great example of painted. But I love the view of the beach. I have always loved the ocean even though I am hundreds of miles from it. The first time I saw it up close, I was in Mexico and I just ran down to the beach to watch all the fish..I was enthralled with it. So beautiful...
I love to see things portrayed how they used to be in the olden days :)
I love this shot of the beach. I used to live on the Mornington Peninsula in another life. We used to get up early and take shots of the sunrise. Since I'm a westerner, this was always a novel experience for me.
Love your blog. Don't know why I haven't found it before this? Maybe the babies have something to do with that? lol
My students do a haiku with every piece of work they do.
Thanks to you. :)
They love writing them. :)
Great "painted" post for this week. :)
There's so much detail in this mural. Neat take on this week's theme.
May i have that to hang in my home? :)
wow, what a great idea. I love the last picture, i want to go there and watch the ocean. Thanks for stopping by
Wonderful starting point for a story - people are disappearing yet are fleeingly seen depicted in the mural...
I like your entry...not much to say...but they are beatiful..
i have always been a lover of murals,, and they portray so well in black and white....
Amazing photos this week!!! I love the very first one.
My 'PAINTED' is posted now. Hope you can join me at my blog today sometime. Have a great weekend.
It must be wonderful to experience the good 'ol days :)
It is a nicely done painting. Happy weekend. Mine is posted.
Gemma, these are wonderful, as usual! Nice finds - well done!
Thanks for visiting me!
Gosh, the painting on that building makes me want to walk right into it!
We had a similar idea. I really like this mural. Paintings like these make plain buildings so much more interesting.
Sometimes the only reminder of the past that's left is the mural about it.
Aloha from Maui, Hawaii!
Excellent choice of paintings for this week's PH theme challenge.
What an artist you are!
My "painted" is posted too:)

Great photohunt!
Beautiful mural, looks so real! Happy weekend and thanks for stopping by my Blog. ;-)
I love the perspective on this one. Great picture... and the lack of color brings out the depth.
Mine is up here.
I like this mural very much. Thanks so much for sharing such an interesting painting. The restrained color scheme only makes it more effective.
I love that mural. It's wonderful! Happy weekend
