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!

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.

It was a post Frank did on Ordinary People. That reminded me about this street art shot in a parking lot. The shot below is from Frank’s post.
Frank covers the Murals of Cincinnati on his blog. If you check out Ordinary People, you will be in his mural category, and can check out many more delightful works of art. TY, Frank!
