In the next 3 posts: Angel (AKA Cruz 1) has done an intense B&W Mural.

Cruz #1

It’s in a long lane running west off Ossington a few blocks north of Queen W., and it wraps around the corner. It’s a “Beautiful Behemoth”!

Cruz #3

I captured the mural right to left, as I faced it.

A Brush with History

Bill Webb (BW Thoughts) sent this gorgeous historical mural from Ottawa, Illinois, U.S.A.

As I have often had to do, Bill shot the mural in segments. Here are the segments from left to right.

“If you ride the I&M canal out from Chicago to the end,  about 80 miles in you come to Ottawa ( named after the Indian word for trade )”

“it is at the conflux of three rivers, and the canal goes through there( built in 1848 ), but as far back as the 1600’s the French traders settled here and traded furs with the Indian tribes of the region.”

 “The rivers were marshy and prone to flooding, so when the canal was built, little towns began to sprout up along the route, and goods and people began to flow West.   In many ways this town is still a sleepy place that mirrors small town America at its best.”
