Tromp L’oleil

In France this kind of mural is known as tromp l’oleil which means an optical illusion.

 

French artist Hugues Sineux recreated a street scene in Hornsby early in the 20th Century. Ginger Meggs is a famous Aussie comic character that was based on a local red head kid called Charles Somerville who grew up to be mayor of Hornsby Shire.

 

Apologies for being out of action for almost 5 days since Wednesday. Home Internet is still down again thanks to Telstra's unreliable service. Expected fix time is Saturday the 17th. Meanwhile limping on a makeshift dongo device.
