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 Artist:
I live across the street from The Magic Building, & get to look at it all day, every day!
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.

The Artist:
No one can paint crustaceans & other sea life like Nick Sweetman
The Jeep? Okay, she’s not a sea creature, but unfortunately, she finds them tasty. She insisted on being in this blog post. Of course she is the most glamorous cat on earth at this moment, along with her BF, Emmy.

The Artists:
I send these flowers out to Carolee Croft.
She has done me the honor of reviewing “Nine Black Lives”, which I wrote several years ago.
She called it “glamorous” & we all know how I love glamour. I find it everywhere, even in alleys.
I went wild and used up the rest of my camera’s battery when I saw these.
Chris Perez has covered 2 sides of what I would call a very large shack. He’s turned a vicious eyesore, into a thing of beauty with his abstract floral painting.
