I want my childhood
back; to spend carefree Summers
with those who have gone.

I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.

On Cornish heather,
still only for a moment;

28. Baffins Lane car park, Chichester
My mother told me I really should go and check out a beautiful bird mural in the centre of Chichester when I was visiting a week or two ago, so I did.
The mural, which overlooks the Baffins Lane car park, is by ROA, and was created during the Chichester street art festival in 2013.
Although his work appears throughout Europe and beyond, little is known about the artist from Ghent, Belgium.
He specialises in pictures of animals, often gracefully contorted in death poses. These birds however, are very much alive. I will have to look out his work in Bristol.

A father and son
spend time together fishing;

Pain au chocolat
Early morning trip;
warm smells of the bakery

Red skies
A chocolate box sky
teases desire and wonder

27. Rosemundy, St Agnes
Strictly speaking this is street art, because it is a painting on a street, however it is likely to be a precursor to the rather more edgy stuff we are used to these days.
This small mural was painted by an artist, Tony Giles who lived in St Agnes from 1961 until his death in 1994. Originally from Taunton in Somerset he was known for his landscapes.
I wonder if he lived in the house behind the wall where this mural is.
The figure always reminds me of the cartoon ‘Pearly Kings’ in Mary Poppins.
I like it.
