My entry for CCC's Street Art Contest #130.
The first image will be my entry for this contest.
Kloof is a nice suburbian area in the Upper Highway area of Durban, South Africa.
As you enter this area, coming from the highway, you pass the Village Mall shopping center and just across the road from it is the Kloof Railway Station.
The railway station is no longer in use in the normal sense of the word.
The building of the station has been converted into a popular pub & restaurant, called Stokers Arms. The station itself, is being used by a private company, called Umgeni Steam Railway. They are running a fun steam train service and they use this station to operate their train from when going on fun rides. Currently, they are busy with repairs to the railway line after recent floods.
The area just below the station got neglected, and some time ago a project were launched to make it more presentable.
Trees that were growing from below the bridge next to the railway line got cut down and clearly, some street artists got the opportunity to display their art on the walls of the bridge in the same area. This makes a huge difference and it brought a welcome, colorful change to the scenery.
I visited the area recently and I enjoyed the art of Giffy, one of the artists who has his art on display here.
This particular painting caught my eye.
You can read more about Giffy on his website giffyduminy.com.
This is another painting from Giffy.
In the next two photos, some of the trees that have been cut back is also visible.
Good luck to all the participants in this contest!
Thank you for reading my post!
