I’d forgotten about these pics, but A Frank Angle reminded me, inadvertently.

It was a post Frank did on Ordinary People. That reminded me about this street art shot in a parking lot. The shot below is from Frank’s post.
Frank covers the Murals of Cincinnati on his blog. If you check out Ordinary People, you will be in his mural category, and can check out many more delightful works of art. TY, Frank!
“Canada’s Parliament declared December 6th the “National Day of Remembrance & Action on Violence Against Women”, following the murder of 14 female engineering students at l’École Polytechnique de Montreal in 1989.”
The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women took place on November 25 and marked the first day of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. This ends on December 10, with International Human Rights Day.
To read about it see The Governnment of Canada‘s page on it.
Or this page: National Day of Remembrance
To read about events scheduled for this day in Toronto check out this information on The University of Toronto site.

There might be an event near you, no matter where you live in Canada, that you can attend.
Or, put it out on social media.
Does the country you live in have a day for Action on Violence Against Women?

The pic below blows up nicely!
This mural, in Winnipeg, was painted in 2006.
I captured it in late 2014, on a muralling expedition with Sherrie & (Bessie, the Tiburon who is gone)
It covers 2 walls, 1 on each side of a parking area.
One is about breads.
The other is about wedding cakes.

☆☆ Have a wonderful day! ☆☆
I learned that the rose was designated the official flower and floral emblem of the U.S.A. in 1986.
I learned that on May 9, 2016, President Obama signed the National Bison Legacy Act into law. This majestic animal joins the ranks of the Bald Eagle as the official symbol of your country.

Winnipeg’s Mural Of The Year – 2015
Risking sounding insensitive; I respect the mural, however, it is not my fave from 2015. I feel it was politically judged, rather than artistically judged. I have felt this, or sometimes that the art and politics are both a recipe for winning MOY. If that is the criterion, then why did the Nellie McClung Mural not win MOY 2016? I adore the mural that won, but it has nothing on Nellie and her gals getting women the vote.
Moving on: A truck blocked part of the left side of the mural.
Here are some close-ups.

I had to go around to shoot what the truck blocked on the left of the mural.
I shot the above Mountie & below, Tam Nguyen who owns the building the mural is painted on.
Tam Nguyen receives his Canadian citizenship.
It may be on a little wall, but this eagle is a huge presence.
Thanks again to Sherrie for driving me hither and yon to collect these murals!
