what does it all mean? (22)

some interesting street art at lyneham shops. ned kelly as jesus on a cross. does the artist think ned kelly was the son of god with some moral lessons to impart to us? or that jesus was actually a common criminal who was asking for it and who has been culturally elevated to god-like status posthumous? what do you think? i think you can probably guess my own personal thoughts about it (if you know me).

the toilet and the tower (8)

this is a sight common to me in my bicycle commute to work. while it's ordinary as it comes, and it is probably a really boring photo for others, there's something i really like about it. well i like the view itself, which is what i've tried to capture. the juxaposition of a toilet block with the black mountain tower. to be honest i probably like the look of the toilet block more, oddly enough. at least it's been gentrified to a degree with some interesting and colourful graffiti, whereas the tower is still a plain grey concrete 1970s spaceship-like object propped atop a hill called a mountain. canberrans like naming big hills mountains. which is quite endearing in a parochial way. this photo also shows something else i love about canberra - the abundance of green in the form of nature reserves. this location is a mere 5km maximum from the city centre. lots of green makes for serene living.
