Someone painted the most fabulous murals on the buildings downtown. Too bad all the murals face a somewhat seedy parking lot.
Nevertheless, self thought this one, on the building housing a woman’s clothing store, Pickled, would be appropriate for Cee Neuner’s FOTD.

YAY! Self went out this morning with her camera, determined to find something for the Photographing Public Art Challenge. She had a particular destination in mind: a clump of murals facing a downtown parking lot which is usually crammed with cars and people, impeding her access to the art.
This morning, there were a few cars, but she was able to keep them to a small part of the photograph.
Each mural represents the business the building houses: Crouching Tiger is a Chinese restaurant; the black mural building houses City Pub; Pickled is a women’s clothing store, and so forth.
