This is part of the Seven Wonders of the World series in Chinatown east.
Recently, Professional Moron posted a book review on the book: The Great Wall of China: by Franz Kafka. Below is an image of the wall that goes with the post. Click on the pic to go to that post.
Many facts about the Great Wall are spelled out in the post, and it definitely worth reading.

Here is a reblog of a presentation by Resa. Resa is a great source for wall art. This is wall painting of a wall, a very Great Wall. I am always happy to see such fine work.
LOL! … a wall painting of a wall… PERFECT! TY for the reblog!
This is amazing. Love the colors it’s very accurate , they did a spectacular job! I read the book review on PM would love to read. I love the works of Kafka. Great job Resa, if it’s there you will catch it. ♥️
Yes, I can catch murals, alley art and colds….ACHOO!
Nonetheless, I do not wear a catcher’s mitt. Coughka.. ❤
no catchers mitt, how gauche, we don’t roll like that. ❤
I know, I know no roll re: the non-catcher’s mitt, but my nails, my nails! Ah yes, they are a pastel mint green today. If only I never had to comb my hair or apply make-up, but nails could be the benchmark, then I could be be a deck chair. ❤
The nails are so important. Mine are always French …so passé! Sigh. ♥️
French??? What’s a French Nail? Mine are 1950’s movie star glamorous style that my mom taught me. Okay, my hands look a bit like chicken feet, but my nails are simply marvelous! x ❤
French sounds exotic. I might be jealous, depending.
You can see my French nails at my post Happy Valentines Day, don’t look at those giant knuckles ya hear? ♥️
Speeding off to checkout your knuckles… err… nails! 😀
Okay, can’t find the post! Link?

I remember, now. I went and gave N the smooch of a lifetime when I saw it.
So ….. your nails are marvelous. 🍷🍷
You can’t be putting those in a catcher’s mitt. Unless, are you using bee’s wax? 🐝
I use mittens. 😊
….of course, kitten katcher mittens. I’m going in that direction, actually.
Perfect!!
Thanking you muchly, madam! I haven’t had a pingback, for whatever reason, so I’m going to reblog this thing like the crazy fool I am!
I visited the Great Wall in 2007, h’actually, as a fresh faced youth of 22. Epic experience, but spoiled slightly as there were so many tourists. Managed to find a quiet spot, though, which made it more profound. Innit.

How wonderful that you got to visit the Great Wall. Congrats, dear Alex. 😀 ❤

Bonjour, readers! A special treat this merry Friday for you all – following on from our Great Wall of China book review (Franz Kafka), apparently there’s Great Wall graffiti out there in the legendary Toronto of that there Canada. Bask in the glory of spray painted excellence – go forth and enjoy!
Aww, thank you! So, I guess it’s serendipity that I found a Great Wall mural, and you posted about Kafka’s Great Wall. We are definitely Great together. (See what I did there? Clever?) 😀 ❤
Clever indeed, madam. But, man, whoever spray painted that wall must have been high on fumes by the end of it. I hope they had a ventilator mask on.
Some wear the masks …. some don’t, that is for sure. Whether or not, they are all very cute! not that cuteness is any kind of a prerequisite for talent. Well….
Exactly, just look at Arnold Schwarzenegger. Talented AND as cute as a button!
You mean he’s not wearing a mask?
In Total Recall he does.
Yeeesss, but then it breaks apart AND … so that’s not a mask underneath the mask?
Look how I have broken many grammar rules. I love being a rebel, like Arnie.
What about The Mask, starring Canadian actor Jim Carrey?
As for grammer; I break the rules all the time.
Is he related to Arnie?
Maybe. They both have funny faces.
OH MY GOODNESS!! I am blown away by not only what I saw but by the accurateness of this art! Oh to have been able to actually see this wall in person. Resa, glorious job with the photography and do eat that chicken soup! Sorry to hear about the achoo! 😘
Considering this is outdoor wall art, it is all you say.
Thank you for your compliment on my photography! That means a lot coming from you.
I’m sure you would have done something better with your lenses. Another humble thank you! x🌹o
I consider you to be one of the most talented and gifted artists that I have the honor to know, Resa. Please don’t sell yourself short! You are an incredible incredible woman! 🤗
I love the depth and detail 👍🏾
It’s crazy and wonderful what one can find on the walls, fences, garage doors and more of Toronto.
This is an interesting comment to me, because I was almost confused in real life when I found this. It was so big and difficult to see. Perhaps the problem was that I could only stand as far back as the space allowed, therefore the whole image was difficult to interpret. Nonetheless, it seems to have translated better in the pics! Thank you for coming by, enjoying street art, and giving this post a thumbs up! 🎵 😀 🎵
Ah yes. For once, a photo may be better than actually being there.
Too cute and awesome Resa.
Yeah! 😀 So, 1 or 2 short posts, then the Maritime post. Quite excited over here. 😀
That was very interesting, Resa. I popped over to the Professor’s hmm… hmm… blog and checked out the videos (I love pictures) and found them very inspiring (whilst eating brunch at the local mall). Not only did I enjoy what I saw and read, but I also enjoyed smashed avo on toast… yum!
Who said you can’t ‘have it all’… 😉 😉
xoxoxo
Yes, the Professor is quite the unique find. He vacillates between the sublime and the ridiculous. 😀 Lol! 😀
YUM, avo on toast! One of my faves.
You had it all! 😀 xoxoxo
Lovely wall on a wall ! China Cat says that it used to be her stomping ground. I don’t believe a word of it ! Love and hugs. Ralph xoxoxo ❤
I believe China Cat! Tell her I have her ceramicat back. ❤ Love and hugs, Resa xoxoxo
This is wonderful. I love the way the writing stops at the stairs as if it’s a hedge of colorful graffiti. Big project but you showed us all of it. Really excellent.
Thank you GiGi!
It was a big project.
What’s interesting to me is that you like the writing. Many don’t these days. It is an older graffiti style that has lost a lot of popularity. I’ve always adored it, and I see it making a comeback .:D
I really dig this Resa, so much about it is appealing, lifelike. A dream of mine is to see the wall in person someday. 🙂
Neat dream. However, This adventure was enough for me! 😀
Well your a Whitby adventure is a constant I suppose. 🤔
Interesting how the artist used two contrast styles on this mural — that is images of the wall & surrounding area with the edgy bottom border. It works for me! Good find, Resa!
I like it, too! I call it a graffiti mural. Without the graf writing at the bottom, it would be a mural. It was a very good find!
I love the scale both of the art and the size of the canvas it finds itself on. I love the mountains too, a fitting tribute to an epic piece of building.
Agree! The art of the Great Wall of China on a wall in Toronto is a fitting tribute. 😀
Reblogged this on Die Erste Eslarner Zeitung – Aus und über Eslarn, sowie die bayerisch-tschechische Region!.
Thank you!
Beautiful! It conjures up those misty mountains so well.
Yes, the misty mountain, like Ariella might have to ride through, sometimes!
Amazing. Truly 🌸
Agree! 😀

Thank You!!!
You’re so welcome and so admired😉
Awe-inspiring! I wonder which is more difficult- the mural making or graf writing?
