I love this amazing wall piece in Fremantle, Western Australia! For those of you who can’t identify the animal, I’m quite sure that it’s a gigantic numbat!
Harvest Festival Photoset
I’ve received a few extra images from Umbrella Theatre’s set at Harvest Festival in November 2011. One festival goer even said it was her highlight of the festival! Big thanks to photographer Emily Batts for providing these images.

In Ljubljana they have quite cute street signs at the zebra crossings of a stick man holding a child’s hand. But, ‘Oh No!’ This little guy’s caught on fire!! You can also find some cool Slovenian political graffiti here.
