Re: Painted silos
Great shot Lawrie. Your 1933 Ford Sedan sure earns its keep. Thanks for sharing. |

Painted Silos at Yelarbon, Queensland, but no 1933 Ford to make them look better. |

Re: Painted silos
Thanks for taking the time to share with us the scenery in your part of the world..it appears to me that the exterior siding has been removed on the front, or maybe never installed.

Re: Painted silos
We have a huge silo in Fort Dodge, Iowa. It was painted a couple years ago by an Australian artist named Guido van Helten. I wonder if he is the artist who painted the silos Lawrie photographed.

Re: Painted silos
Nice pictures, lot of talent. Thanks. I have a question, is the cabin/home raised up for water or critters?

Re: Painted silos
Pretty cool beats all that "rap gangster" crap that, local municiples try to pass off as art to brighten up the place (and the illegal stuff).

Re: Painted silos
The house is an old farm house, it’s built on what’s called stumps here, to allow air to circulate and cool the house,also it sits beside a creek that would maybe sometimes floods,
The framing on the outside is a common thing hear in older homes,I don’t know the reason for it, These are some more murals from the small town we stayed at for two nights. We are now back at the campground at Ubobo, it’s raining , but cool. 33 did a great job up over the range in the mud and pouring rain,lots of low gear work. It’s now getting washed in the rain.

Re: Painted silos
Perhaps so the inside walls are smooth. If there's no insulation (or other modern amenities) in the wall you wouldn't really need to have siding on the exterior of the studs. The porch would have also offered protection from the rain for that wall.

Lawrie, I can answer your question. Hemispheric reversal. Another example: water circling the drain in opposite directions. |

Re: Painted silos
.
The really slick detail about this 'painting' is that the artist thought far enough ahead that the TREE LINES, both painted on the silos and the natural ones in the distance, all flow together to form an unbroken line of trees, left to right! DD |
