Luxuriating in Ephemeral Art
My fave image from a very long mural.
However, let’s begin at the beginning, from left to right.
There’s more, but this is what I could get in 1 shot.
Too, bad! Only a few months old and already tagged.
Now, the rest of it!

On a corner of “The Magic Building” (actual name over the door )
I hope you have enjoyed this wonderful piece done by the same artist that painted me!

The Artist:
I live across the street from The Magic Building, & get to look at it all day, every day!
The name “Transcona” is an amalgam of Transcontinental and Strathcona.
Located in the center of the country, it was where Canada’s second railway housed its maintenance shops, in order to service east and west.
It was built by the Grand Trunk Pacific and the National Transcontinental Railway. The project began in 1908.
Transcona became an official town in 1912.
Transcona became a suburb of Winnipeg in 1972.
Although not involved in the project, Lord Strathcona was heavily involved in building the first railway, the CPR. He drove the last spike into the rails in 1885.

The Artist:
This is a shark… I think.
Looks like it’s about to gobble up the boats!
It looks like a double garage, with a single beside.
OMG! I so adore the bird on the turtles back!
And the Octopus rocks!

Michael does not have a WP blog, but he and Fabio have a restaurant in Toronto. It’s called Local Kitchen and Wine Bar. Click on the logo and check it out. You’ll want to eat there!
It’s old, crumbling and wonderful!
This mini-mural runs along a 2 foot high cement support for a wrought iron fence.
This tiger is the first image. All images are separated by wheels.
As it was ground level, & only 2 feet high, a lot of crouching and hunching was involved in capturing this.
I am presenting these images left to right in order, except for the opening peacock pic. Peacock was the perfect showy piece to open with.
Then, the mini-mural wrapped the corner with elephants.
Now the Peacock.
The lotus was the final image.
The very beginning and very end had these guards.

This is the front end. I just could not do panos as I went along. My back was not happy with the crouching and hunching, nor were the Sunday strollers.
