SUNDAY BEST #402 - VANDALISM

Welcome to the meme, "My Sunday Best", which is a photographic and creative meme that allows you to showcase your talents in imaging. Every Sunday, you can post here showing an image you have created using your camera, (and/or) image processing software, and/or painting and drawing in the conventional way and have scanned in.
The rules are simple:
1) Create your image and post it up on your blog;
2) Put the "My Sunday Best" logo image link somewhere on your post so people can click and come by here;
3) Leave a comment here once you have posted;
4) Visit other posters' blogs and be amazed with their creativity.
Please do not use this meme to advertise our goods or services. This is a creative meme and any inappropriate links or comments shall be removed immediately.
Italian artist Paola de Manincor created some lovely murals in Melbourne, before she died in 2011. This is on a garden wall in a Brunswick church. Vandals have defaced it in the most shameless and mindless way.
Such a great pity to see how our values as a society are changing and to see that the attitude of: "If I can't create it, watch me destroy it" is becoming not only commonplace, but grotesquely acceptable. You can see the photos of the original mural I took in 2014 here.

  2. What a stunning mural that was before the taggers destroyed it. At least you have documented the original mural, and thank you for that link.
