Post those murals you see around your cities and towns, or on your travels here to preserve them and allow others to see them!

I'm not political.

I recently heard a radio program about murals like these that are being painted over because we are at peace. But, for many these murals are bread and butter from the tourist trade and for others they are a reminder of a strugle for freedom.

Either way, I think they should be preserved.

WOW!!! That's excellent - but where does the mural end and the 'real' wall begin???

**Mack** · 11-10-2008, 07:53 AM

That's amazing. Is that a real shop on the corner? Lol

OMG! As I was looking at that picture, I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing, word-for-word!

**sandman55** · 11-10-2008, 09:03 PM

Wow I can't look at that last one for long it really looks like it has been distorted by mirrors the artist is brilliant to do that on such a scale.

**Titomike** · 11-11-2008, 03:06 AM

Now that's what I'm talkin' about.....

....but let's not scare off the young fellas, all they need paint and a wall...some of the grafitti guys are as talented for no training or resources.

this depicts an historical rescue.

A good one

**WereBo** · 11-11-2008, 08:10 AM

All I know about this one, is that it's in San Francisco (I think!):

I'm not right sure whether this can be classed as a mural, or just a wall-painting - either way, it's well executed...

**Titomike** · 11-12-2008, 05:54 AM

Unless that's a window...all gud!

If he knew he was being pic'd you think he'd have picked another stall!

**WereBo** · 11-12-2008, 09:45 AM

I don't think it's a window, otherwise all the ladies would be on the floor - either laughing hysterically or fainted
