Wild Life

It’s a sweet, imaginative piece in a parking lot.

I mean, here’s Toronto’s cityscape, CN Tower and all, with a parrot and elephants.

… and a BUNNY!

The wall dints in & out.

BEST PART OF THE MURAL IS THE CAT BELOW

Around the final corner is a trapped elk.

At least I caught his reflection.

Not only was he trapped by a car,

… he was imprisoned, which is how I found the painting. I had to find out how to get a better shot of him. That’s when I found the rest!

This is a classic style Graffiti Mural. It has an image & writing.

This is part of the Seven Wonders of the World series in Chinatown east.

Recently, Professional Moron posted a book review on the book: The Great Wall of China: by Franz Kafka. Below is an image of the wall that goes with the post. Click on the pic to go to that post.

Many facts about the Great Wall are spelled out in the post, and it definitely worth reading.

I went to a unique area of the city to get this fab Reggae mural.

Artist: Adrian Hayles

When I found it, it was in a parking lot filled with cars. Yay, reflections!

I only knew basic history of Haile Selassie. However, if you are interested, as I was  you can read the BBC article: Rastafrian Beliefs Regarding Haile Selassie

Artist: Adrian Hayles

Moving on, it looks like Bob Marley leading into Haile Selassie …

In 1788 Robert Burns sent the poem ‘Auld Lang Syne’ to the Scots Musical Museum, indicating that it was an ancient song but that he’d been the first to record it on paper. Read the original & modern lyrics!

 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.
