On a walk to get rid of some recycling stuff today, I snapped this photo of another couple of freshly painted stones - cf my post yesterday. Here, as in many other spots, combined with old triangular cement road blocks - none of which have received the same treatment.
Below are a couple of wooden benches, painted earlier this spring. (Photo from today.) Some of these benches have an interesting habit of moving about and turning up in different places from one day to another - but I guess that indicates that at least they're being used...
Below is an example of the third colour used:
It's a large district of look-alike buildings. I have not been round to count the number of painted stones - and I don't intend to. Time will no doubt tell whether the new additions of colour are appreciated, or not! (It is only the paint that is new; the stones themselves have been there for years, to stop cars from taking shortcuts or park where they shouldn't.)
Well, the purple one does match a bench. And I do like the painted benches. I am still uncertain about the painted rocks though.
ReplyDeleteThe colours will fade after a while. They're quite noticeable at present. 😎
ReplyDeleteI like the painted benches but I don't like the rocks painted. I really like rocks to be like ...well. rocks! 😊
ReplyDeleteIt's fascinating how a splash of paint can transform familiar surroundings, and those wandering benches add a bit of unexpected charm to the otherwise uniform setting
