I missed a Mermaid!

There are 2 cleverly inserted Mermaids in a mural at 1036 Main Street, Winnipeg.

I saw the second one tonight for the first time. She was up in the opposite corner from Mermaid Blue.

I did a crop and tried to fix it, but it was not good so I’m not posting it.

I’m so happy I saw this one and shot pics of her. She is so very beautiful!

G.R.G. The Sequel

Here’s the rest of what I found in Loblaws’ parking lot!

I know it’s dizzying, but I found myself angling my camera for the sake of the reflection.

OMG #10

The pic above is so fabulous that I had to start my Post with it, even though it’s near the end of the Graffiti. So let me back up, and start at the beginning.

I came out of the LLBO. I spotted the Graf and cars at the far end of the lot, and began shaking.

OMG #3

The ginormous lot is on the east side of Dundas West between Bloor and Roncesvalles.

OMG #4

I was thrilled to find a red car in reflection position.

OMG #5

It looks so different reflected in red, quite stunning in its own right.

OMG #6

The cars were all clean and shiny!

OMG #7

The graffiti colours are intense, perfect for reflections.

OMG #8

I know, it’s hard to beat the drama of a shiny black vehicle.

OMG #9

I tried to get a shot of the Graffiti art from the other side, but I was sqinched into a corner with limited positioning.

OMG #11

Funny how companies, not people paint these things sometimes!

OMG #12

Painted in 2006, this work was up very high, hard for me to shoot with my 2 amateur cameras. Okay, 1 camera and 1 phone.
