    Default Mural

    It is so dull and no snow in Toronto, that's why I resorted to taking pictures of the Christmas lights in my previous post. Today I decided to drive north to ski country (approx 100km north) to see if I could find snow and some wintery scenes. Even there they don't have a lot of snow (seems like everybody but southern Ontario has been hammered with snow). As a result I resorted to getting this picture of a mural in Midland. The leading lines of the docks to the mural kind of caught my eye.

    Very well done with the lines created here Asnow.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!

    Very interesting. Looks like there's a story with it off to the right, which is also cool.

    Me too.
    Who commissioned the Mural? The property owner, government or some 3rd party? Its much cooler than plain walls.

    The mural is a nice find, and yeah, those lines just walk you right to it.

    Thanks guys. Not sure who commissioned it, but zooming in and reading the writing to the right it appears to me it is the government (local and provincial) with some private sponsorship.
