I'm taking part today in
Monday Murals hosted by Sami.
This whimsical silhouette mural by an unidentified artist
is found on the side of a building which houses
a mechanical services business in my city of Edmonton.
It's a great little landmark in the area!

Second mural I've seen on a blog today. Lovely.
ReplyDelete...lighter than air!
ReplyDeleteNot what I'd picture on a building of that kind, but it is cute and gets people talking.
ReplyDeleteThat's a whimsical mural. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI've seen similar ones on other buildings. I like the floating ....
ReplyDeleteLove this one.
ReplyDelete☺️ C'mon world! More of this! Wadda we want...WHIMSY! When do we want it...NOW! 🤗
ReplyDeleteSoftens up the stark modern lines, and perhaps gives a bit of joy too...I'm thinking!
ReplyDeleteBanksy style, which I love!
ReplyDelete@ Jackie McGuinness -- Yes, Banksy without the politics (or the monetary value)!
DeleteCool! I have also seen this work in Amsterdam, but there it has been painted over (by accident).
ReplyDelete@ Bertiebo -- I'm learning from your comment and Bob's (above) that this is not, perhaps, a unique mural image!
DeleteIt's giving Bansky, and I'm here for it...
ReplyDeleteLove that they used the side of the building for it!
XOXO
@ Sixpence Notthewiser -- Yes, Banksy without the politics or monetary worth!
DeleteI can see someone giving directions now....go past the girl being taken away by balloons and turn left :-)
ReplyDelete@ Kathy G -- Exactly! That's how I think of it.
DeleteVery cool and well done. Happy Victoria Day to you.
ReplyDelete@ CAAZ -- And Happy Vicky Day to you too, fellow Canuckian.
DeleteA hot air balloon ride is still on my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteI believe that may be the Coppertone girl in the ad. Do you remember her? Glad to see she's getting more out of life these days.
ReplyDelete@ Ms. Moon -- Hahahaha, yes, I do remember her and I like your comment!
DeleteThere really are some very talented people out there.
ReplyDeleteI’d have trouble painting that in a canvas let alone on the side of the wall
A good one, Debra.
ReplyDeleteI really like this one.
ReplyDeleteWas Bansky there?
ReplyDelete@ Granny Annie -- I bet the building owner wishes he had been! That wall would be worth a fortune!
DeleteA visual moment that's lighter than air!
ReplyDeleteDear Debra, beautiful photo of this lovely mural and sky.
ReplyDeleteAdorable...Love it !!
ReplyDeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet find, Debra! :)
Have a great week! :)
How "Banksy-esque"! Too bad the the balloons weren't different colours. Happy Victoria Day, Debra.
ReplyDelete@ Tundra Bunny -- Yes, multicoloured balloons would look nice. At noon, I heard the 21-gun salute for Victoria Day at the Alberta Legislature. That takes care of my celebrating, LOL.
