Public Art – The Batmen and Robin

This may very well be the coolest graffiti I have ever seen — and I live in Los Angeles. This awesome ode to the many reincarnations of Batman (and one nod to Robin) was, according to the photographer, “spotted at Regent St. in Prahran.”

That’s Prahran, Australia. It’s actually s suburb of Melbourne in Victoria.

And it’s great.

This post is part of the UpTake Public Art Series. If you see an interesting piece of public art, snap a picture and send it in. We’ll feature it on UpTake!

I Brake for Cassowary

I would never admit it in front of my children, but sometimes vandalism is funny. For instance, this street sign in Cape Tribulation, Queensland, Australia which shows that the stretch of street is a popular crossing area for the endangered Cassowary (bottom). The top sign was originally a speed bump warning.

These are the jokes, folks.

This post is a Wordless Wednesday entry with some words and a lot of laughing.

Happy New Year!

Party Down Under

Wow. That’s Australian for “wow.”

This is the Sydney Harbour Bridge & Opera House celebrating New Year’s Eve.

Note to self: Go to Australia for New Year’s Eve.

Have a safe and awesome holiday from your friends at UpTake (that’s us)!

Sunrise on Sydney

Sydney Harbor at Sunrise

The sunrise over Sydney Harbor and the famed Sydney Opera House in beautiful Australia is exactly how I pictured it (in my mind, I didn’t actually take the picture — that info is below).

This post is part of Wordless Wednesday but with words in it. It happens.
