I realised I had a bunch of photos on my flickr that I never ended up sharing here. These photos are from earlier on in the year. A rainy day spent antiquing (although I didn’t buy anything so I guess it just counts as window shopping) and hanging out in a part of town that I don’t usually hang out in. I love me some Where The Wild Things Are so I definitely had to snap a pic of the Max street art. It’s on the wall of a cafe, apparently. But it was closed when I was there and I didn’t catch the name of it. The purple thing is actually an exhaust for a major tunnel. They are quite polarising and opinion-dividing. Some people like them while others think they are ugly. I like the purple one but don’t like the matching red one. I guess that puts me in neutral territory.

Love these and somehow they go perfectly together, similar tones and space. I hope you continue to post more photos. 🙂
the first shot is gold! i love the overall purple-ness of these images.
Awh Max <3 Lovely photos
heh. love the street art. it's always the coolest surprise comming across something like that in a random as place.
I really like your photos, you should post odd ones more often 🙂
Like the pics! I know exactly where you were! The cafe is called brown dog cafe. On Saturday mornings it's usually pretty packed and people eat breakky on their laps because they don't have tables! I love the area there – kind of one of my favourite weekend haunts 🙂
This is near the Gabba, isn't it!? It's exciting to see pictures of places in my city! I love this big purple building, and the Max street art is so good!

@Hillary and @toni: thanks, I'll try to!
@Danica: purple-ness describes it well 🙂
@BejewelledDresser: thanks for solving that puzzle! I'll have to give it a go one day – and be prepared to eat brekky on my lap!
@liza: yep! these were taken in Woolloongabba.
that purple building looks cool. Reminds me of leggo blocks.
Lovely photos – Ooh I adore WTWTA 😉
Ooh and that building (gota agree with 'muchlove's comment above) it really looks like it's made of lego… just awesome, truely awesome.

The drawing of Max is great! And I think the building looks fantastic, interesting architecture is the best.
Thanks for sharing 🙂
The purple one is really pretty – at least it is in your photograph. I love Max, so exciting to see such great street art like that!

I love the Max art very much. The drawings in that book are wonderful.
Not sure about the big purple thing; I can imagine it being a bit of an eye-sore if you had to see it everyday.
hah, these work surprisingly well as a set. the little traces of purple in the Wild Things photo = lovely.
love brown dog and woolloongabba antiques. love my suburb, so many treats! i also like the purple but am not fussed on the red.
