Painted Shutters

There are a number of interesting paintings on the shutters outside shops in and around Jordan.  



The painting is usually boldly coloured.  Each typically tells a story about the shop, product, or the owners. 



Many are identified as products of the Hong Kong Urban Canvas projects. I understand the project also cover Quarry Bay and Shau Key Wan. 



Some shutters, however, do not seem to be so labelled.  



They are attractive, informative and make you want to linger. 



They are surely a welcome addition to the neighbourhood. 



It is a pity that they are seen only when the shop is closed.  So one has to get up early, or come on a Sunday or holiday. 



I am thankful to the people who put them there.
