Last week, I wrote about the Wulai Creek region in Taipei. Recently, I came across a mural there depicting an assortment of fruits. The entire artwork has fallen into decay, its surface mottled with mould and weathered by time. Yet, in its deterioration, I found it hauntingly unique and strangely beautiful.

...but it's still a bright spot!
ReplyDeleteYeah I spotted it in real time
DeleteIt is sad that no one has maintained this fine mural. Your photo tells an interesting story.
ReplyDeleteThe water really became clean
DeleteI agree the decay and mold actually tells a story and is quite fit for today's world.
ReplyDeleteThe managed decline
DeleteEn ocasiones lo inhabitual, lo sorprendente se nos presenta a los ojos y nos transmite algo de emoción o sentimiento y por eso, a veces, lo fotografiamos. Interesante mural. Y en lo deteriorado tal vez esté lo bello
ReplyDeleteAbrazo
You are so poetic
DeleteLa veritat és que és una pena que es deixi perdre.
ReplyDeleteSalutacions, James!
I still like this version though
DeleteYes, I totally agree. Upon first seeing this, I wondered if it has been weathered on purpose, to give the appearance of being old. It could possibly look better this way than when it was new. Gives it character!
ReplyDeleteEven though it has deteriorated it is a pretty mural. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals.
ReplyDeleteNice one.
ReplyDeleteCute dog.
Yes, murals aren't generally meant to be permanent. They slowly fade away, or in this case, rot away.
ReplyDeleteShame about the decay, but the colours left look quite bright.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Still very nice to see!
ReplyDeleteThe colours of the mural are still vibrant and it is unique plus I like it.
ReplyDeleteGreat mural, I like the dog! Have a great day and a happy week ahead.
ReplyDeleteLa acción de los elementos, en este caso el tiempo y el clima, es el precio a pagar por el arte callejero y aun lograste ver algo de belleza.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
It is quite haunting. I like it :-D
ReplyDeletecreativity is the best here
ReplyDeleteTime taking its toll on that one.
