I’m always cheered by murals, and this one is a beauty. I enjoy your conversations on your posts too – they always add something, and I’m a sucker for words: images are hard work for this verbal tragic. Hope you’re well-rested.
Flying Guardian – Bears – how wonderfully symbolic and sweet! Is the mural maintained at all? I remember back in Odessa there were a couple of graffiti masterpieces, violated by some imbeciles who got their hands on a can of spray paint – so sad…
Since you from Canada I have to tell you that these flying bears are from a cartoon that was done in coproduction of Croatian and Canadian Television. On this particular painting they have shields with the sign of cherries. Cherries are the symbol of my neighbourhood “Tresnjevka” that was named many years ago after many cherry trees that grew here.
Just for you Linda:
“U tvom sam gradu u ljetnu noc
A zelim tu i ostati
Kazes, naci cemo lijek
Dopusti da ti pomognem.” (I’m in your town one summer night, and I want to stay here, you say we’ll find a cure, let me help you…” The title is Svijet za nas – The World for us (in the entire song it can be seen that it is actually “Not the World for us”) I really like this vocal from Croatia. I appreciate your lent ear my dear Linda.
The perspective is quite interesting and it’s a very unique combination I felt…. flying bears, warrior bears, old building and modern buildings as back drop…
The music is also a bit different, but certainly enjoyable 🙂

I thought you were going to use Pink Floyd! Lovely music and a wonderful song to accompany such a good photograph 🙂

😀 Pink Floyd would have been too easy 😉 This is a more geographically pertinent choice. Thanks a bunch, Alex 🙂

Hello Elena. I would hate to see it vandalised. It is relatively new so they did not have to maintain it yet.

The art work, like a cosy bed-time story, is in such stark contrast to the strong lines of the neighbourhood. A wonderful shot Paula!
