Bringing the forest to town, you might say! I like it.

Every town needs more forest within. I like it too, it reminds me of places that I work, which are definitely not urban, or even rural.

Beautifully done – I agree with Sherry that the people add a lot – especially, like you say, because of their shadows, which echo the dark windows and door.

Thanks Lynn – I doubt I would have taken the photo without the people. Nice enough mural, but something more was needed for my interest.

Thank you Sherry. The mural really changes the building. I quite liked the building without, but this works too. It was the shadows that drew the attention of my lens though they do obscure a rather nice brown bear.
