These Automatic Teller Machines (ATM) are located outside the ANZ Bank branch along Oxford Street, in the inner city suburb of Darlinghurst. To celebrate the ten year anniversary of the bank's sponsorship of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, this branch in the heart of the parade route was transformed Into a GAYNZ with GAYTMs. The branch has been completely reimagined inside and out with ornate walls, a marbled floor and hand-painted murals in a baroque-inspired celebration of LGBTI culture.
I can't imagine any of the banks here doing that.

ReplyDeleteHello Jim, I am so happy to see your post at the new Blue Monday. Sally would be smiling I am sure.
ReplyDeleteThe makeover at the bank is so lovely. It is a very special tribute for sure. I would love to see it in person but your photo is a good example of the effort that was made. Thanks for sharing today.
