A stroll in Northcote

Pat just moved into her new place—still renting, but no more share house for her! She was super excited to show us around her neighbourhood so we could pick a spot to eat next time we visited. We wandered through a few nearby streets, and I noticed some cool front doors, mosaic public art, and even a few chairs out on front lawns. Happy to share it all here.

One must look within to discover what lies behind those doors.

One must look down to notice what others overlook, scattered across the pavement.

There’s a mosaic design in front of every house, though I’m not sure if the council put them in or if the owners did it themselves.

One must sit down and slow down to truly experience life as it passes by.

    What a wonderful area. That first photo, with the structure over the entrance, is intriguing. The 4th photo in the pull-up-a-seat group is my favorite. That’s a lovely scene. I could see sitting on that bench for a good long time on a warm afternoon.

      It is not hard to find pretty locations. I am not into modern structures, I find these ones more inviting.

      It is a very creative idea. I want to go back and see if the other streets beside it are also as colourful. Thanks Sarah.

    Looks like a lovely neighbourhood, Teresa. I love the mosaic tiles, especially the bouquet of flowers in a vase and the fish. Thank you for your public art share.

      The bouquet is also my fave. Thanks Natalie.
