The way the bird is drawn is simple yet so effective! It obviously brings a lot of colour to the street Keith and you have captured it beautifully.
Happy Tuesday.

Keith Burton replied to Rosalyn Hilborne:

There are several versions of this bird in and around this area.........I'll post another couple soon.

It's on a boarded over window on what was a large Debenhams store which is about to be demolished and turned into housing. The colours were impossible to miss!

Thanks Rosa.

Excellent! I know the rainbow colours have a great significance these days (though I'm not 100% sure quite what exactly ... diversity possibly?) and it's a super shot, Keith!

Keith Burton replied to Andy Rodker:

Thanks matey. Glad you approve.........it was difficult to miss the colours.

You're sort of right about what they represent........but it's much more complicated than that - the colours and meanings seem to change all the time. Check out the Wikipedia link below for details, but be prepared to be confused :-)

Yeah, of course I know really! I was only joshing ... but I suppose I should be careful because joshing, no matter how light-hearted, doesn't go down too well in certain quarters!
