Let’s say it one more time “there is no place like home” and last nights sunset was yet another reminder. Not much to say today except that I got some great “in the neighbourhood” shots and restored the soul.
What could be more quintessential kiwi than the corner dairy? Their humble presence dotted all over our landscapes throughout the length and breadth of our country, same but different. The signs however are part of our new Covid life. They are sellotaped to each side of door, hurriedly put together, printed on to A4 and are typical of the moment-“one in – one out”, “only touch what you buy”, “reduced business hours” but it beats the alternatives on the rest – “closed until further notice” in many different genres.
The seagulls seem to take flight much later than normal. Maybe it’s the lack of the white noise that normally accompanies our busy moving pre lock down life or maybe they have always been like that and I haven’t noticed.
But yet again its the street art that truly shines as tucked down the back of Main Street in a service lane is this. It literally just pulls itself off the wall to greet you. I am in awe of the talent. #Mauao Street Art.
