...this was a water wall fountainy thing. 'Copenhagen?' appeared on the mural in the past couple of weeks.

Ace things about Melbourne
- * Brunswick Street
- * Chapel Street Bazaar.
- * It has a lane named after rock band AC/DC and a swimming pool named after a Prime Minister who is believed to have drowned at sea
- * Its vibrant multiculturalism
- * Royal Botanic Gardens.
- * Shady Caroline Street in South Yarra
- * The disco balls hanging above Rankins Lane in the city
- * The domed reading room of the State Library.
- * The eucalyptus trees and old lamps beside the river near Fed Square.
- * The huge mural spanning the length of the side wall of Dimmey's discount department store in Green Street Richmond
- * The laneways, especially Degraves Street and Centre Place.
- * The old terrace houses in the inner suburbs.
- * The Royal and Block Arcades.
- * The street art (commissioned and otherwise).
- * The Victorian architecture, especially the interior of 333 Collins Street, the Olderfleet Building and the Melbourne Safe Deposit Building on Queen Street
- * The view of the city at night from the Swan Street Bridge.
- * The Windsor end of Chapel Street
- * There's always a festival or major event happening.
I like the dry-water hole motif as the background. The entire effect is to treat the reader with respect. I like this.
ReplyDeleteWhere is it? City Square, Collins St - Is that near the Town Hall?
Copenhagen is packed with VIP's and demonstrations these days. Let's hope they will manage to reach a good deal for our planet.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
ReplyDeleteYou have to know what it usually is, but a very powerful statement.
Ah makes more sense now that I remember the fountain. Who put this sign up?
ReplyDeleteHi Julie. Thanks. Yes, it is just opposite the Town Hall.
ReplyDeleteHey Hans. Fingers crossed. It's an uphill battle...
Hello Bill. Yes, I thought it was quite clever of them to turn it from a water feature into a ...cracked earth feature. Not sure who is responsible for the addition of the "Copenhagen?" though.
Hey Anon - not sure who put it up. I assume it was sanctioned by the council, although I think I'd like it more if someone did it under cover of darkness.
