Mount Victoria Mushrooms
At the top of Mount Victoria, in the Devonport community (a short ferry ride across the Waitemata Harbour from Auckland, New Zealand), are these mushroom painted “things”. A local who was on his morning walked told me that they were a water pump system that were painted as a prank several years ago. Apparently everyone, including children, loved them and so they’ve remained painted as polka-dot red mushrooms. Rather Smurf-like.
