COLLINGWOOD, VIC
This was on a Tuesday, the 11th of April, when I took the train to the city to catch up with Pat since she took a few days off to celebrate her birthday.
We met up at the Parliament Station to catch the tram going to Collingwood. First we had a light breakfast at a cafe…
We were in Easey Street and I saw this Easey’s restaurant which is popular because it had on its rooftop, train carriages, which were overlooking Melbourne City.
For Natalie’s Photographing Public Art Challenge
This is a huge mural on the side of that same building in Collingwood. This amazing piece was done to celebrate the lives of Keith Haring (an American pop arty artist) and Jean-Michel Basquiat (an African American artist who rose to fame in the 1980s as part of the Neo-expressionism movement) and their influence in street art around the world.
Beside it was our destination…. the Sense of Self Massage and Spa. My daughter and I had a very lovely and relaxing morning.

For Ludwig’s Monday Window … at the reception area.
Had a wonderful hour of relaxation massage and another 2 hours of time in the spa, complete with snacks and tea.
Then on our way to lunch we walked around Collingwood and I saw a lot of doors and murals.
For Dan’s Thursday Doors Challenge
The cafe was quite busy so we had to wait. We walked around to see if we could find anything to buy in its shop… but nah…too expensive!
It was worth the wait tho…lunch was pretty good!
You can join me, if you like, with some of your Street Art photos. You can tag me on Teresa’s Tuesday Streetart
Some marvelous art. Nice photo story.
Thanks so much Ludwig! Glad you liked my story!
The train carriages on the rooftop are brilliant. Fantastic murals, too. Thank you for your PPAC contribution.
Always a pleasure. Just had a hard time capturing the carriages because I was afraid that cars might run me over. Haha
A lovely (and photographically productive) day!
Yes it was, Nes! That is always the plan!
Beautiful
Thank you!
What a lovely day you had 🤗💖 Belated birthday greetings to Pat xx
Thanks so much Jo!
What a lovely day for the pair of you! Pampering and street art, not to mention good food 🙂
Yes… all in one go! I enjoyed my day! Thanks Sarah ❤️
Amazing street art, Teresa. Easey’s restaurant is impressive with the train carriages overlooking Melbourne, and the mural is stunning. I love all the murals.
Thanks glad you liked my choices?
Love the trains on the roof. I must go and check it out.
You just have to look up haha
