Is It Still Called a Mural

if it’s on the floor?

This shark was on the bottom of the rotunda on centenary square in Birmingham. It doesn’t seem to be there anymore judging from photos on the net but maybe somebody from Birmingham can confirm that.

What’s Up, Doc?

After the delightful half hour spent in the company of Frankie Howerd in Pompeii thanks to Debbie I looked around and found so many movie titles with UP in it, I could fill two months of squares with them. I’ll start with the character who had UP in his signature quote and shoot a quick glance over to Barbra Streisand, Ryan O’Neil and Peter Bogdanovich: What’s Up, Doc?

Up Square #3.

Not risky

I didn’t know that green and orange are an endangered species that need to be protected but there you go.

The federation of the local youth organisations should know how to mosh (I didn’t, I had to look it up).

Connect with someone today!

Although the words on this mural read: “Family is everything” I think “family” can be defined in much broader terms than merely blood relations.

Connection can happen through physical touch – but it doesn’t need to. The internet is much maligned these days because the role it plays in agitation and false information but we shouldn’t forget how it can bring people together. Bushboy who came up with today’s prompt is in Australia. I am in Germany. Yet we share a connection via our posts and photos.

Here is the whole mural:

Modern times

“Don’t bother about being modern. Unfortunately it is the one thing that, whatever you do, you cannot avoid.”

Nations in Peace

Size is not grandeur, and territory does not make a nation.”

Thomas Huxley

This mural was conceived and transferred to the highrise building by the internationally acclaimed Bahaider. He based it on working with students from this area in Mannheim, who expressed their different ethnic and cultural heritage in drawings. He wanted to remind us that living together peacefully doesn’t happen intuitively but needs mutual respect and tolerance, in a neighbourhood where people with backgrounds of more than 127 nations live. The piece is called Nationen in Frieden (Nations in Peace).
