Sea Creatures

Artist - Jules Sydenham

I was delighted with this mural on the public toilet block at Ulladulla.  I imagined the excitement of the little boy lifting the curtain of the sea and seeing the wonderful sea creatures below.

When I got closer I saw he is discovering cigarette butts and plastic bottles. Oh why does everything have to be so PC these days!

A poem for today
On the Sea by John Keats.

  3. Gosh this is so beautifully done Joan Elizabeth. It highlights the problems our generation are creating for the younger generation coming along!

  4. It's a nice mural. I don't think of it as "p.c." so much as an attempt to get people to think twice. We may not always see it but seas are drowning in trash.

    1. The problem is that I like to be enchanted -- I would believe in fairies if I could.
