Parallel Motors mural.
Built during the 1880’s it originally served the needs of the local rural area as a Farmers & Graziers Co-op Agency, Stock & Station agency before it eventually became a Chrysler car sales outlet which offered fuel and mechanical services.
Today it still provides the local community with a huge range of services.
In the course of its life the building has witnessed the dawning of the 20th and 21st century, two world wars, the Great Depression and so many great and historical world events.
It survived the floods of 1928, 1950’s, 1990 and it took a battering on 14th November 2022 but it still survives.
Of all these events it was the catastrophic flood sometimes referred to as the inland tsunami of 2022 that almost proved to be its demise.
Yet through sheer gut busting work and effort Parallel Motors of Eugowra still stands as if in sheer defiance.
It was evident that as the flood waters began to recede that not one of the towns 700 population has escaped the devastation.
As rural communities do they all banded together to assist each other and this process is still continuing today.
In 2012 a committee was formed to establish a means of attracting tourism to the town and so it was decided to create murals that would depict local history and events.
Enter a group of dedicated and talented artists who set their skill sets to work over an 11 year time frame to create the stunning murals.
Eugowra became known as the Village of Murals.
In May 2023 an estimated 20 artists and sign writers converged on the village to restore at least three of the damages murals including the mural that adorns Parallel Motors entitled ‘Cars of Yesteryear’.
All the works are undertaken on a voluntary basis and at no cost to the community.
Slowly but surely Eugowra is coming back from the destruction and now with a number of murals already being repaired and restored the visitors are also returning.
Eugowra is situated just 36 kilometres from Forbes on The Escort Way (scene of Australia’s largest ever holdup on 16 June, 1862 Frank Gardiner and his gang of bushrangers held up an armed gold escort and stole 2,719 ounces of gold (84.56 kg) and £3,700 in cash) with a distance to Sydney being 330 kilometres .

In almost all of my photo columns that I write for the National Parks Traveler, I mention, at some point, of really observing your surroundings. I tell my readers to look around them to see if they can find patterns or textures that call out to them for a photo. If it catches their eye, then it's worth at least a single image.
While I was driving the dirt & gravel Howland Hill Road on the way to the Stout Grove parking lot in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, I stopped to photograph one thing, then turned around to see this scene of straight (or almost straight) young tree trunks creating parallel lines in my composition.

Lake Nicasio, Ca.
I was debating whether to go grab a sunset shot yesterday, since it was so gray out, i decided to just go for it. Very glad i did, the color only lasted 5 min. what a show. This lake is about 20 min away, convenient.
While exploring the Carmes parking structure (Toulouse, France), I was struck by the purity of the lines unfolding before me. I wanted to transcend the purely functional aspect of this space to reveal its hidden artistic dimension. By adopting a tight framing and playing with black and white, I sought to isolate these elegant curves that seem to dance in space. My intention was to transform this everyday environment into an abstract composition where geometry becomes poetry. The conversion to black and white allowed me to emphasize the contrasts and create a refined, almost graphic image that invites the viewer to rediscover the unexpected beauty of our urban infrastructure. In this quest for minimalism, I wanted to show how functional architecture can become a work of art when we take the time to look at it differently.
