Scene from 1812
This image is from a mural that depicts an eerie calm in the days just before the War of 1812. A Red River Settler feels the earth for farming.

Before I finish posting the Winnipeg Mural – 1812 – I’m posting these (not my best pics, but very interesting) of Canada’s largest Graffiti Mural. Ann from Ann Graphics is doing a paper on Graffiti and would like to see a few of the shots I’ve taken.
Please know that most of the time I am shooting across a ginormous section of tracks, and half the time I’m shooting into a blazing sun. I’ve got hundreds of yucky pics.
So, for Ann and the rest of you, here’s a quick tour via Slideshow. Each pic is numbered below itself to correspond with my commentary.
ONE – This panting is at the top of the beginning of the commissioned murals.
TWO – The view directly across the rails from ONE, which is Graffiti not commissioned by the city, but may be paid for the the private property it graces.
THREE – SIX is looking to the left, where you can see a decade of rogue graffiti. This is just the tip of the graffiti ice-berg Toronto is trying to get rid of. I’ve recognized at least one of the tag artists as part of the ensemble hired to do the Graffiti Mural.
SEVEN – I’ve gone a half block north to Queen Street in order to cross East under the tracks so I can view from the other side.
EIGHT – TWELVE are views of the reclaiming project on the sound wall.
THIRTEEN – At the south end I go West under the King Street tracks to view the project from the south end. I will be going back to finish my work!

Zooks
Along the tracks between Dundas W. & Keele, in the alley north of Bloor St. W. find Zooks in a parking indent. This summer a voracious ivy will likely obscure the fabulous design on the right, which looks like a fusion of Haida and Graffiti Arts.
It appears the Zooks girl was originally naked, but someone painted a bathing suit on her, to cover her nipples. It appears that then someone tried to scrape the paint off of a nipple, but wall crumbled away instead.

A Cree Encampment
Scene of 1790- A Cree encampment by the Red River.
The actual mural is approximately 21 feet long. Due to traffic and sun, I couldn’t get into any position for a wide shot.
From the teepee to the Chief, I shot the mural in pieces.
There’s a panorama setting on my IPhone, but I hadn’t discovered it, yet.
This is 1 of 5 murals at 1812 Main Street.

Again, this pic from the mural is out of order, but I’ve just got to show it off. I’ve got the rest of the Mural ready for tomorrow.
