Every once in a while someone sends me an image of a mural or some graf they’ve captured.
So I present to you, fresh from Philadelphia & Bill’s research, a gorgeous mural honoring a group of Black Airmen who overcame great prejudice to fly planes during world war II –
The artist is Marcus Akinlana. The mural was dedicated on June 14, 2009, part of the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program.
Bill has 2 interesting Blogs.
Bill, it’s so sweet that you have thought to send this pic in! Resa xo
Near Toronto’s “Hard Rock Cafe”
If you’re on Shuter, just east of Yonge then you will see this mural.
Sherrie & I liked this mural, quite a bit.
Here’s a Slideshow of some of the elements.

THE DOORS
Back alley south of Queen Street West between Spadina and Bathurst, Zena & I documented some rich doors.
Can you find ZENA in this doorway?
HINT: This is what it looks like without her.
More of THE DOORS that Zena & I caught.
One side…
A flip side?

I wish I had better pics, but the relentlessly blinding prairie sun was out in full force.
These murals are at 1812 Main Street.
In 1877 Western Canada’s first locomotive, The Countess of Dufferin, arrives by barge in Winnipeg.

Is this gorgeous or what?
The gate was not locked, and there was no dog house so Sherrie & I just went into this amazing graf filled warehouse lot (not posted, yet). This SPUD was a bonus as we looked down to the tracks.
