Wracamy do Szczecina na ul. Kolumba, gdzie z okazji 100-lecia odzyskania niepodległości na murze okalającym Zakład Gazowniczy namalowano portrety polskich naukowców i różne ich wynalazki. Autorami muralu są Jakub "biko" Bitka, Mateusz Filek i Marcin Papis. Niedługo ostatnia, czwarta już porcja zdjęć. Fot. Wojciech Suszko

This work ‘breathes’ the style of the old master Rembrandt, not in the last place because of the use of the same techniques in light and dark. ⚪️⚫️🎨

It’s an eye-catching appearance painted on a small generator house at NDSM-Plein. 🔋⚡️ …might be there, might be gone already due to the temporary state of the art. 🖼️

The responsible artist is Donovan Spaanstra, who also has three of his works hanging as a part of the permanent collection of the “Amsterdam Museum”. 🏛️

On the right side the old master himself hints on visiting the museum more often. 👍

Not sure how I feel about the sculpture of a whale I saw this morning in the CBD. .. unless it's meant to look displaced and sad - in which case maybe it's bang on.
About 1000 metres to the East of this, real whales are often seen surfacing in the ocean on their migration up the East coast of Australia.

Abstract timber sculptural represention of a whale. Placement is a public walkway. A descriptive brass plaque is on the pavement beside it.

Want to know why there's a sculpture of a bus in the middle of Parramatta Square?

In 1981, the Parramatta Eels won the grand final in the predecessor to the National Rugby League.

Many fans gathered at the team's home ground, Cumberland Oval (which was on the site of CommBank Stadium) and the celebrations got a bit rowdy.

And by "got a bit rowdy", I mean they burnt the stadium down to the ground.

Without a stadium, the following season the team held its meetings in a secondhand 1960s Leyland Worldmaster bus.

But that's not the only piece of local history commemorated by this sculpture.

One side of the bus is inscribed with the words "Flying Pieman". It's a reference to a local baker named William Francis King, who used to sell pies to people boarding the ferry to Parra at Sydney's Circular Quay in the 1870s.

After the ferry left, Mr King reputedly packed up his pie cart, then ran the 30-odd kilometres to Parramatta by foot. He would then set up his cart at Parramatta Wharf in time to sell more pies to passengers as they disembarked the ferry.

The other side of the bus is inscribed with the name "Rosie Bint Broheen". In 1922, Rosie became the first Lebanese woman to buy land in Parramatta.

The sculpture also includes some hidden messages, in reference to the Parramatta Industrial School for Girls, which was a notorious children's welfare institution that operated from 1887-1974. It was home to many members of the Stolen Generations.

Artist Steffen Maas made a mosaic portrait of the legendary Nelson Mandela at the corner of Krugerplein and Pretoriusstraat (also called “De Krugerkop”). 🇿🇦🙌

The mosaic was constructed from hundreds of wooden shields with South African patterns in 2014. It emerged from the collaboration between residents from the Transvaal buurt, among others. The mosaic was intended to confirm or emphasize the neighborhood's connection with South Africa. 🤝
