We stopped in Kawakawa
when we were up north.
It's very much like
any other small country town
Friedrich Hundertwasser
an Austrian painter
and architect who lived
in Kawakawa for 25 years.
It's a great place
to break the journey,
enjoy a cup of coffee
and then visit
the toilets!!

I had to be patient
and wait for the crowds
to disperse so I could
take my photos!
The ladies entrance on the right
I'll let the photos
speak for themselves
I wish there were more
quirky public buildings
like these.
It's a bit like in
Alice and Wonderland
where nothing
is quite as it seems!!

Well Shane I reckon that would be one toilet que worth waiting in.
ReplyDeleteSome loo! I would imagine that it is a tourist spot and how much more quirky than that can you get. Thanks for letting us visit too.
ReplyDeleteOh my! I love those ceramic columns and tile-work... Who would ever have thought to look for art in a public toilet?!
ReplyDeleteFabulous... safe travels to you,

Spectacular, I love to explore places that are art in and of themselve.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing your view. xox Corrine
Gosh Shane, I think I probably would be too confused in there and go into the mens' room by mistake LOL!!!

Hi Shane - What unusual toilets - I love the hand basin - I think your expression of quirky is fitting & those little sketches on the doors are very cute- I like the Ladies best.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

Oddly enough I stumbled on a book about Hundertwasser at our library awhile ago. Fascinating work and so colourful!
ReplyDeleteHi Shane! Isn't it fabulous when someone takes the mundane and makes it extraordinary! Fantastic! Hope all is well! Have a great rest of the day! Tammy
ReplyDeleteHi Shane,
ReplyDeleteIsn't this an amazing public toilet!
Yes, it is like something magical from Alice in Wonderland.
