Saint Augustine, Florida.
I was shocked! Shocked, I tell you! Walking down Saint George Street in Saint Augustine, Florida, I felt the call of nature coming on. Fortunately, there are public restrooms on this busy and historic street. I stopped in the men’s room and was surprised by the image of a beautiful woman washing her hands. The artwork is stunning and I couldn’t help but get my cellphone out to capture her image. It got me wondering if there is a man on the tile in the women’s room. I never did find out. >grin<
About the photo: The painting on the tile was easily tweaked. I forwarded it directly to Luminar Neo and simply applied a small percentage of the Enhanced AI tool. I cropped it to square format and sent it back to Adobe Lightroom to be sized for WordPress and Flickr. It’s been a while since I’ve posted to Natalie’s #PPAC challenge. It is a wonderful example of public art.
I encourage fellow bloggers to create their own Cellpic Sunday posts. I never have a specific topic for this feature, and the only rules are that the photo must be captured with a cell phone, iPad, or another mobile device… If you have an image from a drone or even a dashcam, that’s acceptable as well. The second rule is to link your challenge response to this post or leave a comment here with a link to your post in the comment. Oh, and, you don’t have to post it on a Sunday.

Surprising indeed!
But I loved the art.
“Art knows no gender boundaries, just like creativity knows no limits.” Unknown
True that! I love the quote. It would have been a good one for this week’s photo challenge.
Agree.
Such a very ‘human’ portrait- she’s lovely! You have me wondering, too, but I’m too far away to find out for you, John.
I probably will never know. >grin<
🤣🩷

Unusual, that’s for sure! And beautiful too.
Here is mine:
Indeed, on both counts.

That’s beautiful John, a great find 🙂
It is a beautiful work, Brian. You never know where you might find public art. Unfortunately, no credit for the work was given.

What a fabulous find, John! I remember in Czechia there were also interesting figures decorating the washrooms. But – no cell phone pics 😉
So it’s the great unwashed outdoors for me: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2024/01/28/winter-blue/
I was lucky that I happened to be the only person in the mens room at that moment.
I agree that the painting on the tile is striking, but having pictures taken in that location may not have been the original idea.
I’m sure it wasn’t. If there were others in the room at the time, I’d have deferred getting my camera out. 🙂

That’s lovely, but a surprising location for it! Like you I wonder about the ladies’ equivalent. It’s unlikely I’ll ever be in Saint Augustine but if I am I’ll be sure to check for you 😉
Let me know if you find out. >grin<

What beautiful artwork and so stunning and surprising to see on the bathroom wall, John! Great shot! We leave sunny Arizona tomorrow (it’s been wonderful and mostly warm, but I saved some warm sunshine for you). Here is my post: https://secondwindleisure.com/2024/01/28/sunday-stills-something-to-do/
Safe travels back home!
Thank you, John!

What a great touch. Nice surprise.
Indeed!
What a surprise! Now I want to know if a man is washing his hands in the lady’s room.
Indeed!
That was totally unexpected a lady in the men’s room needs to happen more often; we always have to wait in the ladies room! lol 😂
I posted a cellpic today on chicawrites.com
That’s true!!
😂

Beautiful picture, John, of an unsolved mystery😀
My entry here:
The mystery continues for me. It’s too bad there isn’t even a placard with an artist credit for that beautiful tile painting.
Beautiful art
Indeed!
Super !❣️
Thanks!
I’d wonder if I was in the wrong room, LOL! That’s a great find and a wonderful picture! 🙂
It is indeed a beautiful work. I couldn’t find any artist’s credit, and I thought I looked as thoroughly as I could.
hahaha Having bad eyes, I have gone into the wrong room. However, fortunately the few times I did it as a teen, no one was in there. LOL
