There’s a small clue in one of the photographs of yesterday’s post as to what we found around the corner as we came out of the Foxton Windmill… even this town full of murals has time to run a Mural Festival! Since the festival had recently ended, many of the ‘exhibition” spaces where mural had hung were now empty, returned to artists or sold to buyers, but there are enough left over for me to investigate further.
Therefore yet another arty post!!! Who would have suspected that this rural stretch of coastal highway would boast such a massive percentage of creative talent!? Enjoy!

Welcome to my Blog Retiring Sort….
I really like a LOT of them too… the holiday home one with the beach is one I’d never get tired of. It’s typical of many Kiwi beach holiday homes both in style and spirit. Some of them were for sale, sadly this is serious “excess baggage” to bring back to the Netherlands LOL

Sartenada,
I love them too.. and the good news? if you ever visit here there are MORE (also down the coast in Opunake) I could have easily spent a few days here just enjoying takeing photos. I expect to see something like this evry now and again on a raod trip, but to see so many in this area alone… it’s BRILLIANT!!!!
