For me, the seals steal the show…

Storia Italiana

In Little Italy, Ottawa, find this low, long running mural.

Ital #5

Of course, it’s in a parking lot, so I shot around parked cars

Ital #1

The mural is about 4 ‘ high & 40 ‘ long.

Ital #14

I shot it in sections, & am presenting it left to right.

Ital #10

All panoramic shots look great blown up.

The artist is unknown to me. This bit is on the corner beside these enchanting folk. Maybe it is where they live?

“Music has a timeless feel and the power to move us, just like a good mural! I love the mixing of cultures it, provides a powerful statement about the universality of music.”

⭐ THANK YOU Ste J ! ⭐

There is no one I have ever met who loves books as much as Ste J, and I love that he finds a mural of writers when he finds a bookstore.

Click on the pic for a really great look at the authors!

“What could be better than browsing outside in the heat under the names of famous authors. If it is not enough to inspire, it also doubles as a reading list as well and if I may, I shall push you towards Italo Calvino and in particular Invisible Cities which is a wonderful book full of imagery and and magic.
