I found the old Australind Train in Western Australia.
It had blank walls so there was only one thing to do!
Here is another of the carriages. Nicely blank so you may play along.
It is quite therapeutic, trust me

There is no need for this. Except beauty and understanding.

A painting of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has won this year’s Bald Archy spoof art prize.
The caricature by French artist Xavier Ghazi portrays the WikiLeaks founder with his trousers around his ankles, urinating into a top hat with the US flag on it.
The 60-year-old artist says he is overjoyed to win the prize for the fourth time.
Ghazi said he had first thought of calling his painting Pissing Off The Empire.
‘‘Having a leak in Uncle Sam’s hat is pissing off the empire,’’ he told reporters.
‘‘It’s not as much about the US as it is about global power and instruments of domination.’’
Mr Ghazi says he chose Mr Assange because he agrees with the philosophy behind WikiLeaks.
Organisers claim the Bald Archy, which is in its 18th year, is judged by a sulphur-crested cockatoo called Maude.

Yesterday morning there was a bit of a puddle on the ground below my unit. As it was a cloudy day, I used a manual exposure of about 3/4 sec with my Pentax K20 and then used Irfanview to play with the contrast, saturation and gamma exposure. A little cropping and here it is.
I think I have come over all Claude Monetish.
