ReplyDeleteAround here we're short on murals. Mainly because we're short on big walls to paint on. This one's exciting, and thank you for the explainer.
ReplyDeleteThe murals are wonderful! Its great to see them. Both Philly and Harrisburg, murals abound...and many are also located in the poorer sections of cities. Which I feel gives some hope.

ReplyDeleteOur city is famous for its alleys filled with murals and artistic “graffiti “
ReplyDeleteIt’s really too lovely and intricate to be graffiti. You can do a walking tour of Melbourne visiting all the alleys and seeing it all.
I don’t mind artistic graffiti. It’s the rude sayings or that so and so was here, type of graffiti. That is just there to aggravate everyone.
Thank you for sharing such meaningful and beautiful mural dear Debra
