Murals

[nikonbob]

Some local artists have been busy painting murals on buildings depicting the way things were in these areas of town around the dawn of the last century. Just thought I would photograph them before the other local artists had a chance to spray paint graffiti over them.

Bob, this is good documentation of the work, as you say before anything happens to it! I like the illusion of the bridge ones. We have a mural here that you are inspiring me to go photograph.

Nice work and too bad you have to shoot fast before the morons appear.

The "bridge" mural is terrific! Nice to have captured it before one of those "morons" tries to drive through it!

The bridge mural is very good. Hard to believe it is on the side of the building where we bought our deep freeze. Sure would hate to see all that hard work messed up.

Those murals are terrific. What a great way to enliven an ordinary building wall.

I am very fond of murals and would encourage their proliferation.
But the perpetrators of graffiti are crude violators of private property who should be heavily penalised.

Kleewyck was Emily Carr's given Indian name and the name of one of her books. It means Laughing One. Was she a resident of your town (Vancouver?)?

Thanks for the tip on Kleewyck, the coin dropped when you mentioned it. No not Vancouver, but we do have a large Indian presence here.
