Aquarius, Phoenix & Dragon

This 20 meter (65 foot) long mural is on an old apartment building. Located along a very narrow pathway, I found it impossible to capture it in it’s entirety.

Aquarius #1

It starts with a woman bearing water. Beside her is a phoenix. There is then a door that looks like it’s from Tarot Cards. The center section is a puffy abstract followed by a second Tarot door….

…then enter the Dragon!

Aquarius #2

I have made a Slideshow with elements from the mural and placed it between the 2 Tarot Doors.

Rose Reflection

Lousy taggers scribblers with no street cred, respect or chops have all but completely ruined this charming mural .

Rose #1

In the few weeks since I spotted it, all but 2 of the roses have been scribbled over. A credible tagger would tag around, beside or near the art, but not in the center’s of the mural’s focal pieces.

Rose #2

It’s a charming piece, and I have captured it the best I can without breaking your hearts the way mine was broken when I returned to photograph it.

Rose #3

Rose #4

I would have loved to include the steaming teapot, but again…..
