Another is a Dalmation with boots and helmet of a fireman. Both are dedicated to the police and fire department of NYC. What talent and time went into these!<BR/><BR/>Now I understand what you meant on a previous post... about heading for the beach!srphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751987787364198318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1167737596074219182007-01-02T06:33:00.000-05:002007-01-02T06:33:00.000-05:00Inspirations do exist where we least expect to fin...Inspirations do exist where we least expect to find them........I agree...like you it feeds my writing and enhances my life when I take the time to acknowledge the tiny crevices.<BR/><BR/>Given the description of where this mural is located, my first thought was that it seemed like an oasis of serenity in the middle of urban decay. <BR/><BR/>The colours also remind me of Sarasota for some reason...... <BR/><BR/>Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1167690798568795422007-01-01T17:33:00.000-05:002007-01-01T17:33:00.000-05:00Carmi I can't think of anywhere here in Alabaster,...Carmi I can't think of anywhere here in Alabaster, Alabama that we have a mural like that...which is a shame.<BR/>This mural makes me think of the kid who gets in trouble and has to sit in a "time out" chair. He pouts as he looks at his mom and says, "I might be sittin' on the outside but I'm standin' on the inside!"<BR/>Conversely the folks in that building might be working on the inside but they're vacationing on the outside!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1167688105054438012007-01-01T16:48:00.000-05:002007-01-01T16:48:00.000-05:00We have a few murals downtown, but I have never sh...We have a few murals downtown, but I have never shot a pic of them. Maybe now I will. <BR/><BR/>That woman in the bathing suit is obviously meditating; reminding me that I need to do it - to achieve the serenity of that beach without actually being there (although being there isn't bad at all!)kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1167672453987220982007-01-01T12:27:00.000-05:002007-01-01T12:27:00.000-05:00Several murals in my small town...but themed to th...Several murals in my small town...but themed to the business wall they adorn. The most meaningful ones I have seen are along the 10 Freeway in L.A. where graffiti taggers/artists turned pock marked, spray painted gang names into stunning pieces of art that tell the story of the city, the people, the children and the hope that has to be held onto in a place that has so little. Happy New Year and thank you for a stunning blog site.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1167671175431759142007-01-01T12:06:00.000-05:002007-01-01T12:06:00.000-05:00That window on the mural reminds me of an escape h...That window on the mural reminds me of an escape hatch!<BR/><BR/>Happy 2007 Carmi!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1167661110859262732007-01-01T09:18:00.000-05:002007-01-01T09:18:00.000-05:00If we were really having winter, that mural would ...If we were really having winter, that mural would be a hoot, with snow in the foreground. But it'd reflect what a lot of folks have on their mind. The theater in my town has a mural with movie scenes.<BR/><BR/>May 2007 be good to you and yours.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.com
