<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Another wonderful mural tucked away in a carpark off of Hindley Street ins Adelaide. Again I am not sure who the artist is so anyone who does please let me know. It’s hard to do justice to this pieces without a really large screen, or better still how about a large … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" What has the new Jeffrey Smart building on Hindley Street to do with four poets? The three on the right create beautiful words, the one on the left creates beautiful images. On this night the building is like the language a poet would draw upon in creating images while poetry was … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" The Colley Reserve Rotunda is a state heritage icon taking pride place of just off Colley Reserve in Glenelg but for all it’s aesthetic appeal I’ve never seen it being used. Back in my old stomping ground of the Barossa Valley there was a similar rotunda which was the home of … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" New buildings, strong angles, bold tones, regular patterns and just a hint of skyline. The angles do it for me every time! Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Day 919, Angularity’ 1/100s f/10 ISO640 200mm
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I wonder who’s in the corner the man thought. It’s hard to look down and across when you live on the Flatland of a brick wall. Still he was not going to let his 2 dimensional presence get in the way of curiosity. With a little bit of effort and a … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings"> Walk up close to any building, right up to the wall if possible and then look up. The unfolding vertical landscape made horizontal in you mind will almost always surprise you! It does for me every time. Its a perspective so alien to our brains as we go about even our … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I discovered this dude skulking in an impossible-to-get-to place just off Philip Street in the Adelaide CBD. I’m not sure who the artist is so I am not sure who to give credit to for this odd stylized figure looking back over his shoulder keeping a watchful eye out just in … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" As far as architecture goes, straight line geometry seems to come and go with the fashion. For me though a new building of replicating geometry will always draw my eye and my attention. The zig zag concrete ribs on the new University of South Austraila’s, ‘Jeffrey Smart’ building reminded me of … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" There was something irresistibly irreverent about this plastic mug in a second-hand market and that way Matt Lucas is suggesting I keep it all on the quiet. Of all the images I’ve created …. this is one of them! Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Day 914, Little Britain’ 1/4000s f/2.8 ISO100 200mm
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" It can’t be coincidence that more often than not, when I go to explore a great piece of street art I’ve just discovered I often find Fred Rock’s familiar style and the Toy Solders Crew medallion!! This stunning wall just off Hindley Street is bold, colourful and my favourite theme, nautical. … Read more
