Sherrie & I are back in the “Red Rocket” shooting murals in Winnipeg.
This mural is about afterlife.
It’s brand new, and not updated on the Murals of Winnipeg site. I will update. In the meantime check out this reflection shot.
…And this beauty…
… And all of these…
… And more reflection!
I adore this mural!

This mural at 619 Broadway is full of aboriginal imagery.
It has a giant medicine wheel of grandfather stories and the animals from the Seven Sacred Teachings.
The animals are: Eagle, Buffalo, Bear, Saskquatch, Beaver, Wolf, Turtle.
The animals all have MEANINGS
I’ve been showing highlights and all animals working left to right.

It’s Hockey season! This year I’m now a fan of the “Winnipeg Jets”. Sherrie has me all wound up!
This mural features the “Golden Jet” Bobby Hull whose slapshot was once clocked at 152.9 km/h
He was the first player in the NHL to sign a million dollar deal.
He shoots!
He scores!

This was a very famous place in it’s day.
In 1923 they had the “Water Nymph’s” Contest. It was advertised in the papers and more men than women showed up.
The Bathing Pavillion you see below is still in existence, although now a fun restaurant on the beach.
Between the Pavillion and Toronto’s now renovated “Palais Royale”, where Count Basie, Duke Ellington and many greats played (Even the Stones played there much later)….
…. was a boardwalk & the most modern midway with rides, games and food. The Roller Coaster was the biggest in the world, and made of wood.
The next 2 shots attempt to show the entire mural, but don’t. It’s longer than I could capture.
It’s painted in an Impressionistic style on stucco, which makes for more photography woes. Also it’s at least 12 years faded.
The Beach Park is painted in the center of 3 strips. Above you have an early air show. Below is a painted garden.
It’s bordered by a parkette, and the summer they fill it with the same flowers that the artist painted on the mural.
Many historical writings say the beloved Toronto Amusement Park was burned down, an act of arson to make way for the Gardner Expressway. I’d love to back in time and spend a day here!

The Western Paint Co. has been at 521 Hargrave since 1908.
This commemorative mural is very much an all-in-one presentation. It is very high, up and hard to shoot.

Outside Wynwood Walls
It’s like checkered rainbow faces, to me.
Painted in 2013

A flower, “Bird of Paradise”.
A bird in a paradise. If anyone knows what bird this is, please let me know!
Signature possibly hidden by trash bins, it’s off Bathurst, north of Bloor.
In a slideshow; from left to right, it begins at the blue door that looks like an old pirate story.
