Rock Pigeon by Paul Walsh

I went looking for painted utility boxes again this morning. I remembered noticing that Paul Walsh has painted a number along Dominion Road. After walking with Young L to his school, I crossed the motorway by footbridge and made my way to the start of Dominion Road. After about a kilometre I saw this one. Just off Dominion Road on George Street, and standing out strongly with the strong colours. 

Feral pigeons are very common in Auckland. They tend to make a nuisance of themselves around picnickers in parks. They are very well adapted to modern city life.

We had a celebratory bottle of champagne with friends for lunch, along with animated conversation about the new Government, before S and I drove north for a long weekend at the beach house. Daughter J, who took part in the deliberations by Green Party members over the agreement announced last evening, may join us.
