However, the MIXER, pictured above, needs sound tracks before he can mix tracks. So wrap around to the opposite end wall of the building where THE SINGER lays down her tracks.

The Yamaha Center on Portage Avenue, Winnipeg. Painted in 2004, it is a magic mural!

 I was in Winnipeg end of the year in 2012, and shot 127 murals. I am headed back for another visit, and will shoot more murals. I’ve only posted 64 of the original 127, but hey, it’s nice to have extras!

Best I could do on a long shot with a pedestrian camera, and 8 lanes of vicious Winnipeg traffic between the Mural and I.

The Murals of Winnipeg

Aquarius, Phoenix & Dragon

This 20 meter (65 foot) long mural is on an old apartment building. Located along a very narrow pathway, I found it impossible to capture it in it’s entirety.

Aquarius #1

It starts with a woman bearing water. Beside her is a phoenix. There is then a door that looks like it’s from Tarot Cards. The center section is a puffy abstract followed by a second Tarot door….

…then enter the Dragon!

Aquarius #2

I have made a Slideshow with elements from the mural and placed it between the 2 Tarot Doors.
