Street Art for #300

We enjoyed hearing Bencran57 sing last night at the Festival Centre, and a birthday lunch today with my children. Then on the way home, I spotted this street art on a car park wall in Pulteney Street in the Adelaide CBD. I felt the colour and vibrancy made this a suitable subject for celebrating my 300th blip day.

Clearer art.

Street Art is not to be confused with Graffiti! Street art adds colour, life and vibrancy to open spaces. It gives artists a chance to make important social and environmental statements, or add decorative vitality and humour to otherwise dull places.

Adelaide City Council has responded to the demand for more street art by approving some Council-owned property to feature murals. Street art is a form of public art that allows artists to experiment with their skills and techniques, and explore ideas that challenge the public.
It can generate comment and questions about Adelaide's future, celebrating the cultural richness and diversity of our city. I also want to make it clear that I am totally opposed to graffiti, which is the damage and destruction of the property of others.

If you had suggested to me when I started with Blip that I would make 300 blips, I do not think I would have believed you. I had no idea what this would lead to, and I also had no anticipation regarding the wonderful people I would meet on the blip meets here and in NZ.

On the other hand it has constantly challenged me to take better photos, to expand into different areas of photography and to strive to improve my blips at all times. I will also do my best to present a diversity of varied subjects in the future.

A big thankyou to all of my blip friends for following me this far - for the comments you have given, and for the stars, hearts and subscriptions received. To Paladian - my sincere thanks for your help, patience and total support on the journey to 300.

Now to push on to the one year milestone, and hopefully keep on improving and expanding my wonderful group of blip friends. This blip thing is addictive in a healthy and positive way! I love it.
